SSGB Legacy Barometer /Thermometer/Hygrometer
A special gift and a stunning decorative piece, this weather station comprises a barometer, thermometer and hygrometer. All three are set in a beautiful piece of Jarrah wood, removed from the deck of the SS Great Britain in 2024 during conservation work. This wood formed the top deck of the ship from the 1990s until 2023.
South Gloucestershire-based woodturner and carver Johannes Roux has a lifelong fascination with maritime history, so for him to work with wood from the ship's deck is a match made in heaven! Drawn to contrasts in texture, form and colour, he creates contemporary pieces that echo ancient design traditions.
For this range, Johannes has designed stunning household objects that preserve the original time-worn surface of the deck while revealing and celebrating the rich colour and grain of the underlying Jarrah wood.

Every piece in this range is hand-made from recycled wood, so each one is slightly different and unique.
