Timber is nature’s own perfect building material. It is full of beauty, inspiration, endless variation, bursting with character, carrying its own history…and it doesn’t cost the earth.

The timber I use is either salvaged from a previous life and recycled to a beautiful new use in my furniture, or grown in responsibly managed plantations ensuring that the objects I make are kind to the world around us.

Wherever possible, I maintain the story of the timber used in my furniture, so you may find yourself buying a cabinet made from timber that was last used by craftsmen 150 years ago to build a hotel in 1865. Perhaps you bought a lacewood jewellery box made from timber salvaged by arborists when the limbs of a giant plane tree were endangering local hospital buildings, or a console table made from timber salvaged by builders during a home renovation in Carlton or Richmond.It could also be possible you are purchasing a beautiful table ‘merely’ made from redgum timber left to me by a friend, or from rare flame maple brought back when another friend moved home from living and studying in Boston.

At the end of a single lane road, I have built a workshop with views over lush dairy paddocks to the trees and mountains that provide the precious resource I use to craft my furniture. In this setting ideas begin with lines drawn on paper. Time stops as I pursue the precision embodied in every joint, as curves and corners evolve into work that blurs distinctions between form, function and art, work that results in enduring, beautiful, pieces of furniture for your family.
