Meet Lucy and Joe
As a family-owned business, we bring generations of passion and precision to every project
From our workshop in Lazonby, Cumbria, we turn locally sourced, heritage-rich wood into everyday treasures. Think slimline bookmarks, heirloom-style coasters and rustic serving boards – each piece tells a story, honouring the tree’s past and built to last. Let us give your wood a second life, full of character and charm.

Each step of the process
It all starts with the wood – often fallen trees or offcuts with a story. Once dried, we cut and shape each piece by hand, letting the grain guide us. We make simple, useful things like bookmarks, coasters and boards, finished with natural oils and plenty of care. Nothing rushed, just thoughtful making.
Bud Introduction
Learn more about Bud Designs
Beautifully crafted individual handmade designs
Every piece we make is slightly different – shaped by the grain, the tree it came from, and the hands that made it. Here’s a little look at what ‘handmade’ means to us, and why it matters.
Bespoke options including add on effects and packaging
From engraved messages to custom packaging, we offer simple ways to make your piece more personal. Here’s how we can help you create something one of a kind.
In-house manufacture to highest quality standards
Everything is made by us, by hand, in our small Cumbrian workshop. We take care with every step – from first cut to final finish.
Bud Designs, craftmanship that speaks for itself
BUD Designs creates handmade wooden gifts and homeware from our small workshop in Lazonby, Cumbria.
From bookmarks and coasters to serving boards and bespoke commissions, everything we make is crafted with care, using sustainably sourced or salvaged wood.
Each piece is cut, shaped and finished by hand – designed to be simple, useful and full of character. Whether it’s a storm-felled tree, a family offcut or a fallen branch from a garden, we give wood a second life through thoughtful design and careful making.
We’re a husband-and-wife team, and everything is done in-house – from the first cut to the final oiling. No two items are exactly the same, and that’s the point. Our products carry the marks of the wood’s natural story and the hands that made them.
We also offer bespoke wooden products for shops, events and personal gifts – with options for engraved messages, packaging, and small batch runs. Whether you’re looking for meaningful handmade gifts or a more sustainable way to source wooden goods, we’d love to hear from you.
