Biosphere inspired Woodcrafts
Aldaron Woodcrafts is a small rural business run by Gabriel Vindt and Iona Dunbar that has signed the Biosphere Charter. From their workshop at home in Glentrool Village surrounded by Galloway Forest Park they are inspired to make things that are useful as well as beautiful. “We make everything by hand. Our designs are rustic, working in sympathy with the natural contours and twists of the wood. Most of our inspiration comes from spending lots of time outdoors and often we find ideas come to us as soon as we hold a piece of wood and start to work with it. Our designs are always changing and each item we make is unique.”
Gabriel and Iona use sustainably grown and harvested local hardwoods in their products. They buy wood from a local sawmill which processes timber from the estate where it is based and buy wood from organisations such as the RSPB who occasionally fell trees as part of the ongoing management of their reserves.
