Here is a recent job I have finished at home. I milled, fabricated and constructed the post and rail fence from Macrocarpa. The inside was meshed lined and a 30cm skirt was buried to prevent digging under the fence.

It’s a good feeling getting back into the workshop crafting these boards and platters.

The house now smells of Blackwood, Huon and Celery Top Pine.

If anyone wants an order, give me a hoy!

It’s been quite a while since I have posted here, something I hope to rectify moving forward.
My latest project that I have recently completed is a traditional timber frame entrance to our yurt.
Handling large Timbers by yourself can be tricky, thank god for the tractor and loader! I’m fairly happy with the result, please view the pictures and let me know what you think.

Over the past few weeks I have spent many hours hand carving a leaf out of Tasmanian Huon Pine.

This leaf I have created purposely for my wife, therefore it is not for sale but I am happy to take commissions to make similar, bearing in mind each piece I create will be unique as the wood itself lends to the finished design.

Taking orders for my bird houses, this is the first one I have just completed for an order. I can create them all a little different to suit your requirements. The birds love them.

Whittling Wood.

All in a days work.....I wish!

These spoons take quite some to whittle but it is so well worth the time and effort I put in to them, as I find whittling wood so therapeutic.

There is nowhere else I would rather be than in my shed whittling wood. Such a relaxing way to spend the afternoon....tunes blaring in the background.
