    Bought as a wedding present with names and date engraved. Delighted to receive such a well made set of bookends. Highly recommended.

    Bought a pair of bookends for my father in law. I asked for a preview as I wanted dates on the back as well as names on the front. I think the customer service is flawless. I would highly recommend this company to anyone.
    Thank you again.

    Have just received pair of bookends for my grandson for his Christening (actually shown on website with 2 M’s) and am absolutely thrilled with them. The quality of the wood and workmanship is superb and the service was marvellous. His date of birth was engraved on the back, so he will have something special that will last a lifetime. What a wonderful product and I recommend this company to anyone looking for something unique.

    We recently ordered an engraved wooden Christening Bookend for Grandson Noah. Just wanted to say how pleased we are with this. The workmanship is brilliant and backed up by great service. Although the first one was slightly damaged in transit, the return and quick response in getting a pristine version to us was fantastic. All arrived in good time for the big day – many thanks for providing a truly unique gift.

    Yours

    Hello Ben,
    I am soooo impressed. Thank you very much for delivering the perfect gift right on time. Also thank you for your time and patience when helping me with the text and layout. I am delighted with the finished bookends and I know my little nephew will love them too when he is old enough to appreciate such things, just like his parents are right now.
    I am sure I will be in touch again with another order soon.
    Kind regards
    Danuta

    Hi there
    I just wanted to let you know that I received my bookends yesterday, and they are absolutely gorgeous! I love them! And such good quality……
    There just was no ‘comma’ after ‘One Lord’, wasn’t sure if this was meant to be?
    But all the same, they are perfect!
    Special thanks to Ben for all your help!

    Regards

    Sharon

    Thank you for the beautiful quality and perfectly engraved book ends, I am more than pleased with them. The grammar and text layout were perfect as adjusted by me. They arrived ahead of time ensuring I received them timely for the Christening for which they were a gift. I will certainly be recommending you….

    Many thanks

    Hi,

    I just wanted to say thank you so much for the beautiful bookends you made for my twins’ christening. They are absolutely stunning. The engraving is immaculate and the quality of the oak is really special. Lots of people commented on them and asked where we got them from! I wasn’t expecting my six year old twins to appreciate them fully until they are older but they were really excited to see their own initials on them and they loved that they were a pair and couldn’t wait to set them up in their room with their books.

    Many thanks again, they are perfect and will be treasured for a lifetime.

    Kind regards

Finish: Superior Danish Oil

Aftercare: Product maintenance is very important. We recommend you continue to treat your product with Danish oil or similar timber treatment oil to protect the timber and stop it drying out. This will also help to prevent staining, discolouration, cracking and warping.

About Timber: Natural timber will always want to move. It’s going to expand and shrink as the temperature and humidity changes in your home and outside, rest assured it won’t change drastically. Small hairline splits may occur as your product ages, this is completely normal and is regarded as part of the timbers natural beauty. As the seasons change you may see some movement in your product, again this is completely normal.

Do not store your product outside, in a garden shed or a garage.

If you need any help or advise on how to maintain your product please contact us or consult your care guide.

Personalise your bookends:

The front face is included in the price. Choose to have 1 big initial – up to 20 characters of engraved lettering. To personalise your bookends further, you can then engrave further lettering on the left or right side faces if needed.

For the best look, add a large carved initial or simply ‘A’ and ‘Z’ to the front face of a pair of bookends and a quote on the two visible sides edges, something like a quote from A. A. Milne. It does look simply beautiful!

You can also add extra special touches to your bookends, such as carved hearts or stars and other bespoke carved motifs like musical notes or a triple clef. Take a look at the options available to you – Engraving options.
