A handmade wooden Christmas tree brings a unique blend of character, sustainability, and timeless style to holiday decorating. They offer a more natural alternative to a plastic tree, but unlike traditional cut trees which will often start to shed after only a few days or plastic alternatives, wooden trees offer long-lasting beauty and a meaningful touch of craftsmanship.

First, they’re eco-friendly. Our well-crafted wooden trees can be reused for many years, reducing waste and lessening the environmental impact associated with buying a new tree each season. And with our commitment to using sustainably sourced timber, you can be sure you are making a better choice for the planet.

Handmade wooden trees are also highly durable. Their sturdy construction means they won’t shed needles, dry out, or lose their shape. This durability makes them ideal for families, especially those with pets or small children, providing a safe and steady centrepiece for holiday celebrations. The sturdy bases make them a safe choice around children and pets, and the interlocking panels make for easy storage to ensure you can keep bringing out this piece year after year.

Aesthetically, wooden trees bring a sense of rustic charm and warmth that complements a wide range of décor styles from minimalist Scandinavian to cozy farmhouse themes. Because each one is handcrafted, no two trees are exactly alike, giving your home a unique artistic touch. The textured edges and circular cutouts mean that our trees work well on their own as a statement piece but also give you lots of options to decorate them yourselves with lights, tinsel, and ornaments.

The different sizes we offer mean you are sure to find an option that suits your space, whether at home or in an office environment. Plus, they could work beautifully as a matching set to create a layered festive display.

Perhaps the greatest benefit is the sense of community and craftsmanship they embody. These trees are made by local Bristol craftsmen and setting them up can be a project for the whole family. Instead of mass-production and over-commercialisation, a wooden Christmas tree turns holiday decorating into something more meaningful, creating a tradition that can be treasured year after year.
