Artist statement:

"Growing up on a farm in Waikato, my father taught me about the value and versatility of timber. 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.

A 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.

Today 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"

This product is a one-off item as no two pieces of rimu are the same
