QUALITY HOME GROWN SCOTTISH TIMBER
Scottish Hardwoods have enormous character with numerous different species of timber. All naturally durable with prominent grain, they are available in a variety of rich and complex colours. This provides a wealth of opportunity for many different creative uses.
We use only the finest Scottish Hardwoods that are sourced and crafted locally. Each piece of hardwood is unique; no two pieces will ever look the same even if they are cut from the same tree. So each of our pieces are treated individually and made by hand.
THE CUP OF FRIENDSHIP
Originating in the Scottish Highlands and used by the Clans, traditionally the Quaich was a symbol of hospitality, peace and friendship. A shallow drinking receptacle with two handles on opposite sides which were typically carved out of wood or horn.
Both practical and decorative, these cups were used to offer a welcoming drink (usually whisky) at clan gatherings and family occasions. At weddings, the Quaich symbolised the shared love between a couple and the coming together of their families.
Today the Quaich is still gifted to mark important occasions, they are especially popular for christenings, weddings, anniversaries. They also make lovely retirement gifts or trophies.
Engraving
This style is suitable for engraving on the centre disc as well as the lugs. We would not recommend engraving on the rim.
