We are Donna and Phoenix , the founders of The Elderwood Project.

What started as a simple idea to rescue unwanted wood has grown into a project we are incredibly passionate about. We collect timber that would otherwise be thrown away such as pallets, fallen trees, scaffold boards, and surplus wood, and give it a second life through woodworking and creative projects.

Alongside our day jobs, we spend our time collecting reclaimed timber, building projects in the workshop, and slowly developing The Elderwood Project into something bigger. Our long-term goal is to create a community woodworking space where people can learn practical skills, work with reclaimed materials, and take part in creative projects.

For us it is about more than just wood. It is about saving resources, reducing waste, and creating something meaningful from materials that others might overlook.
Where old wood tells new stories.

Reclaimed Wood Rescue

We collect unwanted timber that would otherwise be thrown away or sent to landfill. From pallets and scaffold boards to fallen trees and offcuts, we give usable wood a second chance instead of letting it go to waste.

Sustainable Woodcraft

We turn rescued wood into handcrafted pieces, each with its own character and story. Every item we make is created from 100 percent reclaimed materials, proving that old wood still has real value.

Community Workshops

We are working towards creating a space where people can learn practical woodworking skills and work with reclaimed materials. Our goal is to build a community focused workshop where creativity, sustainability, and hands-on learning come together.
