Whilst it was great news that the aviation industry was finally back on the up towards the end of 2021, it meant that our little wood adventure has had to slow down considerably. It certainly hasn't stopped though, and has been ticking away with all sorts of little projects whenever there's a free moment!

The latest one wasn't so small and we can't wait to see it set up in its new home. It's a custom made meranti table for a Kamado Joe ceramic charcoal grill.

It's only a matter of time before a similar set up is found in our own garden...it might be quite a bit longer before we manage to replace the Weber with a KJ though. One day....;-)

The Woodsh'Ed269 forest is spreading far and wide! Have you spotted any of our sustainable wooden Xmas trees in your neighbourhood yet?

One of the large trees was modified for someone today to include some little shelves. Someone else has converted theirs in to an advent calendar!

We'd love to see how you're using and decorating yours this year! Please feel free to share and tag us to spread some more sustainable Xmas love!

The weather has changed in the last week and it’s no longer like working in a sauna with no off button in the Woodsh'Ed269 😅.

We’re feeling extremely lucky that the chief carpenter has been called back to handle the flying type of planes instead of the woodwork kind for a while, but that doesn’t mean there’s any rest in the sh’Ed!

Christmas is just around the corner and it will be time to get the trees out again any minute (or redecorated for those who never put them away;-)), so the production line is up and running again!

Feel free to get in touch if you’d like a set of sustainable hand made wooden trees for your garden / porch, or perhaps a star for the wall to string fairy light round! We’d be delighted to help to you bring some natural festive joy to your home this Christmas 🎄

Spot the difference ;-)

It's always the simplest looking things which end up being the most difficult. Who'd have thought a star could be so tricky?! The chief carpenter knew it would be, but ever the optimist I convinced him it would be fine....!

Calculating the mix of angles was a nightmare and the first attempt ended up looking like something from Spongebob Squarepants! But after a day away from it, some revised calculations and a cup of patience, we eventually got there. I'm sure there will be plenty of beautiful baby photos to come from this newborn photography prop!

Here at Woodsh'Ed269, business is a little slower than before as the chief carpenter has finally been called back to work and has traded the woodworking sh'Ed for an 'office' with a much sunnier and less dusty environment!

Sincere thanks to those customers who are patiently waiting for orders which have been delayed somewhat due to either our change in circumstances or the current supply (or lack) of wood. We're hoping to get everything finished by the end of the month so we can get back to our roots and get some Xmas trees out again!

If you're interested in some Xmas trees for your front porch / garden / inside the house, please feel free to get in touch to reserve some. (The final design might be slightly different to below, but the general idea remains the same). Due to the sharp increases in wood prices over the course of the year, they'll be dhs350/set of 3. Pick up is from Mira Community within 7 days of notification, before being offered to the next customer.

It’s great to see what we create in Woodsh'Ed269 getting put to good use!

These display stands were put straight to work the minute they left the sh'Ed, showing off this fabulous array of sunglasses.

If you'd like to see if we can help you with a small display stand, or anything else for that matter, don’t hesitate to get in touch!

One less stress for a mother of a busy little boy who wants to be involved in everything in the kitchen with this modified IKEA step stool, making it a safe learning tower.

With kitchen cupboards in Dubai often notoriously hard to reach, the inclusion of the gate means that not only is it safe when an inquisitive little person is using it, but when it's open, the adults in the house can still make good use of it as a step too! Genius!

W is for Woodsh'Ed269! And (hard) Work... and Wow!... and last, but not least, William.

This one was a labour of love but we are delighted with the end result and hope William and his parents will be too!

Our own kids are somewhat disappointed that their names all begin with curvy letters as they love the idea of having one of these too! Ed and I, on the other hand, are breathing a sigh of relief ;-).

Another customised beech wood stairgate made and installed, stained to match the reddish colour of the staircase as close as possible.

This one is a trifold gate which, when open, fits neatly in the space between the staircase and the door frame. It should keep the upstairs area safe from unwanted guests of the 4-legged kind ;-).

The hamster mansion, along with a maze house to suit a Russian Dwarf hamster and a sandbath box, has now gone to its new home.

It has a drawer that can be filled with shavings and pulled out to be changed; an acrylic front for hamster entertainment and a wire top to allow for good air circulation. Jasper is one lucky hamster!

We're going to have to try and make time between projects to make one for Jazz, our newly adopted Syrian hamster too! He tested this one out so must be wondering when he's moving house too :-).

The hamster accessories continue - but this one is at least for a live one!

Some Russian dwarf hamsters may be too small to climb up through the hole in the roof, but Syrians will manage no problem at all. It's a fun exercise maze for them, but also offers them a nice hideout when they want some peace and quiet.

If you have any requests for wooden pet accessories, don't hesitate to get in touch and we'll see what we can do!

Warning: contains an image that some people may find disturbing!

Just a week or two after making a little hamster maze house, our super model Rosie sadly passed away.

Being part of the Woodsh'Ed269 family, she had her own little hamster coffin made on the same day and was buried in comfort and style alongside her mum, Tina, under the frangipani tree.

RIP Rosie.
