Tree Surgery

Winson Woodcraft is an independent, family-run tree surgery and traditional crafts business based in the heart of Berkshire, England. With over 20 years of experience in woodturning and craftsmanship, we specialise in creating unique, hand-crafted items from locally sourced, renewable wood. Our passion lies in preserving and promoting the rural skills and crafts that were once an integral part of daily life.

Our Services

At Winson Woodcraft, we strive to recycle and repurpose as much of the by-products of our tree work as possible. This enables us to create a wide range of hand-crafted, rustic products using both traditional and modern craft and construction methods. Our services include:

• Tree Surgery: Our skilled team of arborists provides a comprehensive range of tree surgery services, including tree felling, pruning, and crown reduction. We are committed to maintaining the health and safety of your trees while preserving the natural beauty of your outdoor spaces.

• Woodturning: Using a traditional pole-lathe, we create individual character creations, turning sustainable, locally sourced wood into unique, functional items.

• Traditional Crafts: We are passionate about preserving the rural skills and crafts of the past. Our range of traditional crafts includes hurdle making, charcoal burning, and bodging - reviving the techniques that were once commonplace in the British countryside.

• Educational Workshops: We offer educational workshops for those interested in learning more about traditional crafts and rural skills. Our experienced team shares their knowledge and expertise, providing hands-on learning opportunities for all ages and abilities.

Products

We offer a wide range of hand-crafted products, showcasing the natural beauty and character of the wood we use. Our product range includes:
