Wooden Robin

A beautifully minimal wooden Robin for your festive decorating, or for all year round. The birds are cut from sustainable cherry or walnut and finished with a strip of red paint. They sit steadily on a flat base with the natural grain of the wood showing on the top and sides, finished with Pat's homemade beeswax polish

Each Robin is 3.5cm thick, 8.5cm tall and 10cm from beak to tail and comes in a simple cardboard gift box along with a card with the quote "Robins appear when loved-ones are near."

Smaller hanging Robins also available here.

Pat Murphy is a self taught wood worker based in Kildorrey, Co. Cork.

Originally a butcher, Pat dabbled in wood working as a pastime. When his butcher shop was forced to close in 2007, he started selling his work at local fairs and markets. Seeing the success of his work, he launched CK53 design in 2017, to expand the reach of his work.

Why CK53? When the butcher shop closed, Pat converted one of the outbuildings into his workshop, which was licensed to Cork County Council. The license number was Cork 53, or CK53, and so the name stuck!

Pat uses sustainable hardwood frm FSC certified forests. Growing up in the countryside, Pat has huge respect for nature and the maintaining of the natural landscape.
