A small family business with a love of wood 

Saw Swag is a family woodworking business based just outside Athy, Co. Kildare, Ireland. Founded in 2024, we bring together handmade wooden pieces and a selected range of chopping and serving boards for everyday life.

From preparing dinner to sharing food with friends, enjoying the garden or celebrating an achievement, our collection is about useful pieces with natural character.

From our workshop in Co. Kildare 

Our workshop is where we make our Moat & Grain wooden boards, garden benches and custom trophies.

Working with timber means paying attention to each piece—its grain, colour and how it will look and feel when finished. Those natural differences give our handmade work its character.

We enjoy turning that timber into something with a purpose: a board brought out when friends visit, a seat in a favourite garden spot or an award made for a special occasion.

 Two board ranges, one place to shop 

  • A rectangular wooden serving board with a handle, featuring three vertical wood grain sections: a light natural wood on the left, a medium warm wood in the middle, and a dark brown wood on the right.

    Handmade in our workshop

    Our Moat & Grain wooden serving platters, grazing boards and charcuterie boards are handmade outside Athy, Co. Kildare.

    Each brings the natural grain and colour of the timber to your table—a thoughtful gift or a piece to enjoy in your own home.
