Rooted in nature
Crafted with care.
Worktree was founded in 2012 with a simple purpose: to make honest, useful products from sustainably sourced solid wood while creating steady and respectful work for the people involved.
Each product is shaped by skilled craftspeople from the surrounding community. We do not use composites or chemical finishes—only natural wood, finished with food-safe Tung oil.
Just as important as the products is the work behind them. Worktree provides reliable work for our carpenter and for the women who finish each piece by hand. We want everyone involved to feel valued and able to depend on the work they do with us.
Alongside our regular range for the home and kitchen, we make custom pieces including trophies, medals and practical items for restaurants.
