About Honest Coffins
I make various items in wood.  Currently most of my signs are on oak from Arran whisky barrels.  Things like the ashes caskets are made using timber grown in Arran and milled by a friend who lives just up the road.  The products will vary slightly according to the piece of wood used.  Feel free to contact me with suggestions, especially with Scottish and Gaelic sayings.  I’ve just started learning Gaelic so please provide a translation.

I was a bit surprised at the size of these earrings - they are very big-but realised they would be perfect to go with a wacky jumper I have! They are well made and the grain in the wood is beautiful. I am pleased with them.

Hi! I bought 2 x plaques;
one for my son's birthday (38 years old - how did that happen?)
one for the wooden cabin I let out. It's called Springbank Cabin and there is always a dram of Springbank sitting in the bar area for guests! Check me out on Facebook (Springbank Cabin)!

It is in my DNA to support local wonderful businesses for everything I do in life and wherever I spend my precious £s.

I like the fact that there was the identification of where the wood came from. The message; well, what can one say?!? Great sentiment.

I was so excited to discover the enterprise ISLES 20. I am from Stornoway and missed going home last year to restock my giving basket for friends and family.

I like the pink cards of welcome. I like that you have brought together all of Scotland's islands and made them a brand. All these talented individuals and business deserve that support and encouragement.

I have added you to my Facebook profile. I have shared and re-shared your page. I have told all my friends , many of whom are islanders or otherwise connected.

I will return!
