No new wood or treated pine or MDF

Your clayTool wood and colour will vary from these photos as materials are determined by the community throw-outs and made from waste wood found in Sydney streets. Learn more wood selection & maintenance

Slow or Fast - Your Call

Hand Engineered by Humans

Designed, carved, assembled and oiled with ZERO precision engineering. No two tools will ever be the same (we've tried!) every tool comes with its own provenance story so making can take 10 days.

If needed earlier - tick priority box and I get on to it straight away. Similarly, if you don't care how long it takes, you'll be treated with a slow consumption pricing

Complementary Aged Finish

Due to the age and richness of 100 year old wood, clayTools weather beautifully. The low maintenance finish gives an insight into the world it once saw. Like all tools, dry and wipe after use and re-oil as desired.

Packaging made of found objects

Washed, sanitised, protected & celebratory, what more do we want from our packaging?

Each clayTool comes with a certificate of authenticity, the heritage story, and the favourite "all about the base" - the material and how to care for it
