After sanding back a bit of old Rimu one day I fell in love with native NZ timbers. Rimu continues to be my personal timber of choice, providing a unique , striking and contrasting grain unlike any other I’ve encountered.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA carpentry and cabinet making apprenticeship led me into a career working with wood. Developing my technical skills and gaining experience over the years only fuels my love of working with timber and as a result I’ve developed a hand finished range I’m truly proud of.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eToday I’m lucky enough to call the rugged West Coast of the North Island home. Together with my wife and our two daughters, I continue to be amazed and draw inspiration from all things ‘Kiwi’ and the natural beauty of our surrounds. I feel privileged to do what I do and love representing this land in my work\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ian Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43211855364194,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0113\/9362\/files\/4E02F0BF-4877-4B4E-981F-BE77BD7E1B95.jpg?v=1786761733","url":"https:\/\/hapa.co.nz\/products\/kereru-wall-art","provider":"HAPA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
