About

Hi, I am Beth Britton, the craftsman or rather craftswoman behind BnB Crafts. I turn every piece of wood, resin, and combination of both on my small lathe that I bring to some shows.

In addition to the hand turned handles and pen barrels, I stretch my creative flair with the color concoctions available in resin poured items.

As a young girl, I enjoyed watching and helping my Pop Pop design practical tables out of lumber. This started my interest in woodworking.

When my family moved to Western New York, I became heavily involved in the construction of our storage shed and the remodeling of our 19th century farmhouse. 

Rummaging through my grandfather’s things, I discovered planes…not the type that you fly (though that would have been awesome) but the carpenter’s tool that smooths rough edges and levels the surface.

Even though my grandfathers had a flair with the wood plane, I saw more intrigue with the lathe and router that I discovered on my own.

Sometime in 2017, I started watching You Tube videos about woodturning. I thought it was really cool that you could take a block of wood and make something amazing and functional out of it. I decided to buy a small lathe and start turning. 

Initially, I made a couple rolling pins for my cousins and a pizza cutter handle for my parents. 

One day I was at a local woodworking store buying material for my next project and one of the workers suggested I try making pens. So I did. This has opened a whole new opportunity. 

Please look through all the options on the website to find your perfect product. 

Today, I experiment with new techniques for prepping the basic block I turn…weaving, pouring and layering. Subscribe to our emails for insider news, new products and more.
