This magnifying glass combines a copper plated frame with a hand-turned Jarrah wood handle to make a beautiful and functional object. The wood formed part of the weather deck of the SS Great Britain from the 1990s until 2024, when it was removed during conservation work.

From his workshop in Fishponds, Bristol, furniture maker and woodturner James McQuade makes beautiful homewares and keepsakes. James embarked on his journey with woodworking in 2022, initially finding the craft as a way to work through grief, then founded his own business in 2024.

In awe of the natural beauty and variety of wood species, James jumped at the chance to work with the stunning claret hues of the SS Great Britain's Jarrah Wood. His designs are understated, allowing each piece of timber to tell its unique story

Dimensions: 215 x 85 x 15mm
