Handcrafted from rowan burr, resin and foraged treasure in a small, one-man workshop on the Isle of Lismore.
Inspired by a time when life was inseparable from the sea. Old maps of Lismore show more than 17 named ports that today look like small stony beaches breaking up the rugged coastline.
On the sheltered side of Lismore, 1 mile from the ancient ruins of St Moluag's Cathedral sits the stony beach of Port Moluag. Unlike most of the island, the area is covered by mature trees offering extra protection from the weather in a break from the treacherous coastline.
