Commission custom wood signs and awards
Custom wood signs and awards from our award-winning wood workshop
Every year, our wood workshop team create 100’s of bespoke custom wood awards and plaques for a range of commercial, government, third sector and community-based clients.
Join the growing number of organisations choosing The Grassmarket Community Project Wood Workshop as the ethical and sustainable alternative to mainstream suppliers.
Working on a commission basis, our wood workshop is completely self-sustaining and supports our essential work. We recycle unwanted church pews, windfall trees and other wood into beautiful bespoke products.

Commission bespoke wood furniture
Commission bespoke wood furniture, hand-crafted from recycled and responsibly-sourced wood. Our expert team transforms unwanted church pews and other recycled wood for your home, office, school or outdoor space.

Each item is designed and built to the customer’s exact specification and we can offer a variety of different types of wood, many of which are no longer commercially available.
We’ve been doing this for many years and we’re good at what we do.
