BUD Designs began as a shared passion project and has grown into a family-run business rooted in craft and connection. Lucy and Joe — husband and wife, with two young children — started BUD with the idea that fallen trees could become more than firewood. Based in Cumbria, they work with estates and landowners to turn timber into lasting pieces with meaning — from heirloom benches to shop-ready gifts. With backgrounds in design and traditional making, they bring creativity, care and a personal touch to every project. For them, it’s not just about what’s made — it’s about where it’s come from, and the story it carries.
