I am happy to be working with Social Enterprise  Restore Cothrom in South Uist, on the development of my own own recycled soap tray.  Chris has just finished a driftwood prototype full of natural holes made by wood-boring gribble and teredo worms.  We are on the hunt for more dry, local ‘Swiss cheese’ driftwood so please let us know if you can help.soap tray using recycled wood
