The collection
The Table & Bar
The pieces that live on a dining table are handled by everyone who sits at it. A turned mill or a burl bottle stopper becomes part of the family's rituals: the dinner it came out for, the toast it sealed, the guest who asked where it came from.
Mill mechanisms, knife blades and tool heads are precision parts from specialist makers; William turns the wood and fits them. Everything that touches food is finished to a food-safe standard.
The first pieces in this collection are made to commission. Yours could be the one that defines it.
The first edition
Be the first commission
This collection is made to order. There is no stock and no shelf: tell William about the person and the ritual, and the first piece is designed around them.

Materials
From the forest floor to the stars
Five levels of material, from figured domestic burl to meteorite. Every tier is chosen with you; legality and sourcing are checked before a single blank is cut.
Domestic burls & figured woods
Maple burl · Buckeye burl · Black walnut · Spalted maple
Warm, figured and full of character.
Exotic hardwoods
Ebony · Ziricote · Bocote · Amboyna burl
Dense, rare grain from around the world, sourced legally.
Hybrid burl & resin
Stabilized burl · Cholla cactus · Pinecone · Hand-poured resin
Burl and resin cast together, then turned to reveal both.
Signature materials
Meteorite inlay · Ancient kauri · Mokume-gane
The rarest work in the gallery.
Your heirloom timber
Wood from a family home · A fallen tree · A piece of old furniture
The most meaningful material is often already yours.
Questions
Good questions, honest answers
Is the finish food safe?
Pieces that touch food are finished to a food-safe standard, and each comes with simple care notes. Decorative surfaces may use more durable finishes where food never touches them.
Who makes the grinding mechanism or the blades?
Specialist makers. William turns the body or the handle and fits the mechanism, and he will tell you exactly which one your piece uses.
Can I order a matched table set?
Yes: a salt and pepper pair, a stopper set for a wine lover, or a cheese set turned from one board. Tell the concierge about the table it is for.
The design concierge
A gallery that listens
Talk with the DeVito Gallery concierge, an AI that speaks in William's own voice. It asks the questions he would ask, then hands him your brief.
- Who the piece is for, and the moment it marks
- What they love: writing, cooking, the shave, the pipe, the craft
- The woods, colours and finishes you are drawn to
- The budget you have in mind, never a hard sell
You will see what it can and cannot do before the microphone turns on. Conversations are recorded so William can follow up.
Commissions

Tell William who it is for, what they love, and what you have in mind. He reads every brief himself and replies personally.
