Wooden Soap Holders Crafted from Sustainable Cedar
Re-using short pieces from my workshop that would otherwise go to waste.
- Environmentally friendly woodcraft.
- Great for keeping your bathroom and kitchen wet areas tidy.
This is the story behind how I made them and what you can do to look after them and keep them looking great.
The idea for these came about because I hate to see good wood going to waste and as I make a lot of wooden signs (1000’s since 2004) I end up with a lot of Cedar short pieces left over from the process. Cedar is a great timber for bathrooms and wet areas because it has natural oils that protect it from mould and rot. It’s what they use to line the walls of Saunas. It’s also quite expensive so I hate to just throw it away or burn it.
- Features drain holes created by the alternating slots & natural Cedar properties.

SOAP HOLDER MAINTENANCE TIPS
Please note that some soaps may become a little discoloured where they make contact with the raw Cedar.
This is a harmless tea coloured stain that is easy to remove just by use or washing with water.
You may also notice the Cedar will darken and may leave tea-coloured water where the water drains through as it removes water from your soap bar. This is the natural tannins coming out of the wood. Some pieces will do it more than others and it will stop eventually. To help this process along you can always soak the Cedar in the bath or a sink full of hot water.
Alternatively you could try to seal the timber by applying some chopping board oil with beeswax, this is usually available in my shop when I have it in stock.
