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.

Telly Bedside Table

The Telly Bedside Table was inspired by 1950's/60's style furniture and televisions but with a contemporary edge.

The drawers have hand cut dovetail joinery, Marmoleum linings and self closing runners.

It's made from ecoply, Tasmanian Blackwood and Victorian Ash.

Tambour Mood Light

The Mood Light is made from Australian Cedar and designed to be wall mounted. It features battery powered LED globes which use less power and keep heat to a minimum and a tambour that can be opened and closed to adjust the amount of light output.

Flat Pack Stool

The stool is made from ecoply and Tasmanian Blackwood and was designed so that it could be freighted to customers and assembled quickly and easily. It uses tapered sliding dovetail joinery for strength and aesthetic appeal.

Welcome

I've created this blog as a way to show people the furniture etc. I've been designing and making recently. I'll update it with photos of my work in progress as well as the finished pieces and put up some links of other interesting things.

Let me know what you think.
