Ashley Iles Limited was started in Sheffield, UK in 1948 by pattern maker Ashley Iles; he gave up his day job and set out to make and sell his own range of specialist wood carving and turning tools.

Today the company remains proudly independent and is run by Ashley’s son Tony and family members, with a dedicated team of highly skilled staff. Woodworking groups are invited to visit our Lincolnshire toolmaking factory, please see our Factory visits page.

We ship to many countries around the world and offer a free sharpening service and comprehensive guarantee should things not work out.  More about our company »
