Shipping Update -
Please note that from the 13th December 2024 I will be unable to ship to the EU and NI due to new EU General Product Safety Regulations. Any orders that made after the date to the EU and NI will be refunded.
These new changes are not currently viable for my business as each product has to be tested and documented by an independent EU company. As more is learnt about this new system I hope to be able to offer shipping to EU and NI again.
In 2023 I was awarded a QEST scholarship to learn the traditional gun engraving skills with master engraver Karen Wallace. I have now completed my scholarship but I am continuing to improve my carving and hand engraving skills and delve a bit deeper into the world of Gun engraving. You can follow me on instagram to see what I am up to.
