The Gränsfors Carving Axe has a long, thin and straight edge with a straight grinding bevel and narrower neck, which gives a smooth cutting surface and makes it good for carving. The forged recess in the axe head allows the hand to be held almost straight over the edge, which is important when the work requires stability and precision. The handle is straight to suit all hand grips. The flat, straight shape of the axe makes it suitable for work in dry wood.

Fresh mushrooms lose flavor when rinsed in water – dirt and soil should therefore be brushed or cut away. This handy oiled birch and horsehair mushroom brush effectively removes dirt and debris without damaging the mushrooms.
The brush also works great as a bread brush when baking with molds with small and detailed patterns as the round shape makes it small and flexible.

Hand-forged dowels for use in turning timber walls, for example. Two sizes. The stronger iron is intended to be driven in as a wedge between the logs and thus facilitate the work of driving the rope between the logs with the smaller iron. Once the gap has been filled with linen, the coarse driving iron is knocked aside and the timber collapses again. Lead hammers, a special tool that does not bounce and thus provides more power and force in the work, are used as striking tools for the driving iron.

The Gysinge tile is a beveled tile for bathrooms and kitchens of a model that was common in Sweden in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Several Swedish tile manufacturers existed at the time, including Ekeby Bruk in Uppsala.
What distinguishes Swedish tiles from international models is that Swedish tiles are usually square, not rectangular, and that they are available in so many parts, including half-tiles, borders and moldings, that a complete set can be made. The tiles are thick and strong and have a vibrant surface precisely because they are handmade and fired in old kilns. The glazing is also done by hand, which further enhances the rustic impression. All tiles are labeled “Gysinge” on the back.

Prinsen is a completely smooth, handmade tile, with a vibrant and shimmering surface. A larger surface tiled with Prinsen gives the same shimmering impression as an old handmade tile stove. The tile can be combined with our corner and edge tiles or with our tile breast strip if you want a contemporary finish to the tiling.
Historically, in really lavish contexts at the turn of the 20th century, there could be fully tiled rooms, that is, tiled from floor to ceiling. An example of such an environment is the kitchen in Hallwylska palace in Stockholm and the kitchen at Waldemarsudde, known as the “Prince’s kitchen”, as well as a few others. Sometimes even the ceilings were tiled.
This was the case in the Hallwyl Palace, for example, and in the new luxurious bathrooms built by the bourgeoisie around the turn of the 20th century. Many people have thought that this type of tiling is from a later period, as the tiles are also smooth, but it is likely that the smooth surfaces were mostly for hygienic reasons.
The tiles would simply be easily wiped clean. The fact that the tiles are usually joined together with minimal grouting is further support for the theory that good hygiene has been pursued.

The tile is excellent to combine with our borders, or with our tile breast strip if you want a time-typical ending of the tiling.

The Gränsfors Wilderness Axe is a traditional scout and camping axe. The axe has the same head as the Kubben but with a longer handle. The longer handle gives the axe greater power when felling trees, for example. Practical to have in your backpack when you need a small axe with great power. The axe is capable of cutting fairly large branches or splitting smaller wood for the campfire. The shape of the axe guard, which also covers the upper part of the neck, prevents the axe head from rubbing against the backpack.
