Slate Book Ends cut and carved from a single piece of Welsh Slate.

Natural, rustic Slate Book Ends.

Sawn base and sawn in two to create matching pieces. The sawn edges are then wet polished to remove any saw marks and this also darkens the colour of the slate sightly.

These can also be engraved either on the facing edge or the sawn edges.

I use off cuts of slate or rockery pieces for these as they have a nice random, natural texture. I can also use sawn polished slate for this, but personally I prefer the character of the rustic slate.

This example shown here is using slate from Pembrokeshire, West Wales. This slate is softer but more rugged looking. This is a blue slate colour with some rich vein bronze markings on it.

I was commissioned by Phil Campbell from Motorhead to persoanlise a set of these for his band with his very unique logo on the front.

I can produce large quantities of these and turnaround time is pretty quick.
