Corkscrews
Opening a bottle of wine is often the beginning of a shared meal, a celebration, or a quiet evening. The tool that starts that experience should feel every bit as considered as the moment itself.
Each Blackburl Works corkscrew is individually handcrafted from carefully selected hardwoods, reclaimed skateboard materials, and premium stainless steel components. Every handle is shaped by hand to showcase the natural beauty of the material while providing a comfortable, balanced grip.
Rather than treating a corkscrew as a disposable kitchen gadget, Blackburl Works creates one-of-one pieces designed to be used for decades. Rich wood grain, figured timber, and colourful reclaimed skateboard laminations ensure every corkscrew is unlike any other.
Built for everyday performance while celebrating exceptional craftsmanship, these corkscrews bring lasting character to every bottle they open.
Shinkai is a one-of-one corkscrew handcrafted from maple burl and swirling epoxy resin. The natural voids and irregular grain of the burl meet deep charcoal and pale blue resin, creating a layered composition unique to the material.
The restrained form allows the contrast between figured wood and flowing resin to remain the focus.
