The Tragedies wooden bookshelf: Oak

Under an oak whose antique root peeps out

Upon the brook

As You Like It 

Handmade from English oak grown in Warwickshire and sourced from responsible forestry practices.

English oak has grown for hundreds of years in the Warwickshire countryside, and the trees are still a familiar and revered sight today, lining hedgerows, standing proud in fields or sitting majestically in small woodlands. 

The oak was the principal tree of The Forest of Arden which once surrounded the town of Stratford upon Avon, and is the setting for Shakespeare's As You Like It. This ancient woodland which stretched across the breadth of Warwickshire was said to be so dense that a squirrel could jump from tree to tree across the whole county.  

These trees shall be my books

As You Like It 

Hand-crafted from Warwickshire oak, this little shelf is stacked with four books featuring the four tragedy Shakespeare play titles of Macbeth, Hamlet, Othello and King Lear. 

Due to its organic nature, the natural shades and tones of wood may change according to external circumstances.
