Elaine's Mobile Robes

This is one of an identical pair of robes I made on commission for some friends. They liked the idea of being able to move them around easily and, because they're relatively low, also store things on top of them. They're made from Birch plywood, Laminex and have Hafele hardware.

Vintage Suitcase Sidetable

I found this old vintage suitcase in a secondhand shop last year to add to my collection. This one was made in Melbourne by Fred Dodge and it's in great condition. I have a few and store cd's and things in them but I decided to do something different with this one. It's sits on a frame and legs made from Tasmanian Blackwood.

Veer Sideboard

The Veer Sideboard was my piece for the 'Our Journey With The Grain' exhibition held at the Sturt Gallery. The design came from wanting to make a Scandinavian inspired piece that looked good and was also functional.

It's made from Tasmanian Blackwood, Birch ply and Laminex.

Both solid timber and veneered ply was used, much of the veneer has beautiful fiddleback grain which really shines through in the right light. It features Hafele hardware with self closing and soft close drawers. It measures 1800mm long by 750mm high and 500mm deep.

Tongue & Groove coffee table

The Tongue & Groove coffee table was designed to match the Split Stool below, it's made from Ply, Ironbark and Spotted Gum. The finish is a natural Danish Oil, with sanding sealer applied first to fill the very open grain of the Iron Bark. Although it looks relatively simple, it was actually quite complex to make.

Pack Away Stool/Table

This is a little prototype folding stool/table I've been working on. It'll be a little neater and better finished once I've got some more time to work on it.

Split Stool

Here's a piece I've recently completed. It's a small, round stool called the Split Stool made from laminated ply, Ironbark and Spotted Gum. These two varieties of timber are extremely hard and durable with beautiful grain. As is often the case with Australian Hardwoods, the more appealing grain is much harder to work and requires scraping and sanding rather than planing so takes hours and hours of work. I'm also in the process of making a matching table that I'll post up soon.
