Hello to all our wonderful customers! We hope you and those close to you are keeping safe and well as life slowly returns to some normality.  For those of you who have placed orders with us over the last few months, we would like to assure you that our service is back to normal after we had to temporarily extend our dispatch times.  We'd like to thank you for your patience and loyalty over this period. We'd also like to introduce you to a new feature - the Littlefair's Fan Forum on Facebook!  For a while now, via our social media...

The keen eyed amongst you would have noticed that we launched our Instagram account back in February. For those not familiar, Instagram is the latest tool in the cluttered world of social media to let us share our lives with the world.  Now, in our industry, product reviews are absolutely vital to us.

However, this meant that Les couldn't pop in with the products for them to have a look at. This...

As we potter about our unit up here in Darwen, we often wonder what weird and wonderful projects our wood dye / stain is being used for. This is why we love it when people like Alex from The Sidney Edgar Workshop get in touch. Alex had recently ordered some of our English Oak and has used it brilliantly to finish the top of a bar in what we would describe as the ultimate 'man cave'. One of his customers, a fan of Marvel comics, has converted a room in his house into something of a shrine to superheroes, complete with plasma...

When we're looking to sell our products to the general public - via our trusted stockists - we feel it's very important to let them see exactly what they will be getting for their money. This is why, for each new stockist, we painstakingly produce a handmade display board to show off each colour within our wood stain / wood dye range. As you can imagine, this isn't a quick process; each colour has its own display block which is cut to the required size and sanded by hand. It's vital that the utmost care is taken during this process -...
