Bem-Vindo ao Aparas de Madeira

Great work David found a way of doing business that values ​​the heritage of Corvo Island. Thanks to his work, the Corvo traditional wood lock continues to be produced and taken across borders. Keep it up!

Óptimo local a visitar na ilha do Corvo Fomos muito bem recebidos... O proprietário contou-nos a história do local e mostrou-nos o material usado para o fabrico do artesanato. É um local a visitar...

Beautiful traditional store David's store is beautiful. The store is also the workshop and you can see the locks in the process. It smells very much like wood. I wanted to buy a lock on the spot. But all were already out of stock or reserved. But that was no problem. We have kept in touch via Whatsapp and he sent me the lock then to. Small extra wishes were also possible without surcharge. Very nice owner. On Corvo I can only recommend this store with traditional wooden locks

Custom Made I commissioned eight, large handmade locks for an historic house overseas . Absolutely superb craftsmanship . They were incredibly well made; shipped over on time and they all function perfectly. Thank you !

Wonderful project! This is a wonderful project which allows the cultural heritage of the island to be preserved! If you visit Corvo don't hesitate and visit Aparas de Madeira!
