Hand Carved Wooden Worry Stone | Cornish Peace Pilchard | Tactile Folk Art Gift

What is the Penryn Peace Pilchard?
The Penryn Peace Pilchard is much more than a mere ornament—it’s a working piece of folk art. Hand-carved by me in my workshop in Penryn, from beautiful Tulipwood, its smooth 10cm x 4cm shape is designed to fit perfectly in your palm or pocket. It’s soothing to the touch and works as a tactile focal point to help ground you when you feel stressed or anxious. It’s a great way to show yourself—or a loved one—that you care about their well-being.

Craftsmanship & Materials

Each Pilchard is individually carved and finished by Robin Falvey using high-quality Tulipwood, celebrated for its smooth grain and durability. This is a unique, one-off piece of authentic craftsmanship.

The Perfect Gift

The Pilchard arrives with a full set of quirky instructions, and presented in its own jute bag, decorated with a distinctive Penryn Peace Pilchard label and tied with a flourish of Cornish tartan ribbon.

A Penryn Peace Pilchard is lovely to keep or makes an ideal, thoughtful gift.
