1966-2009
Luke passed away peacefully on the 29th December 2009 after suffering a massive brain haemorrhage whilst driving home from Cornwall after christmas.
His son Ollie whom many of you will have met was in the vehicle at the time and managed to control and get the car to the side of the road. His presence of mind quite likely saved other lives as well.
Those of you who ever met Luke will have your own fantastic memories of him and his legacy will live on through all the driftwood items he has made.
Hopefully at some point Wrecked Driftwood will carry on.
Rest In Peace

Welcome to wrecked.....bespoke driftwood furniture; sourced, built and sold in the Westcountry.
I am now in my sixth year of trading and thought it was about time I brought my business into the 21st century due to the growing success of wrecked.
Things started in a small way in St Ives where having to endure an enforced rest due to back problems I started to fiddle around with the endless beach finds which were beginning to take over the tiny yard! These items I started selling from an honesty box on the front gate and the rest is history.
Please read on for details of where to find me trading and some examples of my creations.
Please feel free to contact me for further details, prices and any commission work you may wish me to undertake.
Many thanks
Luke
