Description

Crafted in the village of Laguiole, France, this Forge de Laguiole corkscrew features an exquisite Thuya wood handle, admired for its deep amber hue, swirling grain patterns, and natural aromatic resin. Native to North Africa, Thuya wood is prized for its rarity and beauty — making each piece truly unique.

The corkscrew is forged from stainless steel and assembled by a single master cutler, reflecting the highest standards of French craftsmanship. It includes a smooth single-lever mechanism and a precision-tapered spiral, designed to remove corks effortlessly and cleanly.

A perfect union of functionality and artistry, this Thuya wood corkscrew is ideal for collectors, sommeliers, or those who appreciate the refined ritual of opening a fine bottle. With its luxurious finish and signature hand-chiselled bee, it is more than a wine tool — it is an heirloom in the making.

Sourced primarily from the Thuya trees found in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco, this wood is known for its rich, warm tones, ranging from golden yellows to deep reddish-brown. The grain is often fine and straight, but can also feature interesting, swirling patterns that add to its natural elegance. Thuya wood is also known for its delightful, aromatic scent—rich and slightly sweet—making it a sensory experience as well as a visual one.

Beyond its stunning appearance, Thuya wood is highly prized for its durability and resilience, making it perfect for items that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Thuya trees are slow-growing, which makes their wood incredibly rare, with each piece being unique due to the natural variations in colour and grain.
