About WastedWoods
This journey started in Scotland, when it occurred to me and a friend that there wasn't really anything out there to help give you a smoother, more enjoyable smoking experience: from the actual smoke itself to the process of rolling, it became clear that something was missing. With a bit of woodworking experience, I tried to come up with something that could act as a holder, carrier and cleaner. Looking back, it's mind blowing to think of what those first prototypes looked like.
Years later, after having moved to Sardinia, Italy, and establishing a workshop, more designs, collaborations and a customer base, WastedWoods has become something that my younger self living back in Scotland never would have imagined. I've met some great people along the way, supplied smoking shops in different cities, worked with dispensaries in the US, even collaborated with hip-hop group Ashdronauts from California to come up with the alien-themed tips you might have already seen before happening upon this page.
Along with meeting interesting people, I've also received brilliant custom-order requests - ideas from my own customers that could personally suit their needs and desires and tastes. It's a great thing to be inspired by the very people who I am making these tips and other accessories for because not only does it open your mind to more possibilities it has also led me to learn and improve as a carpenter. Running your own business isn't easy as there can be many things outwith your control that present challenges, but, without a doubt, this is an experience that both I and my customers can enjoy and I hope to see WastedWoods continue to grow and change the world of smoking.
