Made with care. Made to last.
Every sign begins with carefully selected oak and is finished by hand. More than 90% of the oak I use is reclaimed, giving quality timber a new lease of life and every piece its own character.

Rooted in the Peak District
A little about the maker
The Calver Carver is a small independent wood-carving business based in Calver, in the heart of the Peak District. I enjoy giving oak a new purpose, combining traditional materials with careful design and personal service.
