I’m on a bit of a mission to show people the value of handcrafted furniture by creating pieces that are delightfully comfortable with an enduring aesthetic and quality. Each chair I make is part of a growing protest against throwaway culture, one that’s made to be used, cherished and passed down to your loved ones. And as handcrafted things so often do, perhaps they will spark some interest in sustainability, creativity or making things by hand.

I work with locally sourced timbers, each chosen for its character, durability, and natural beauty. From the elegant Australian Ash to the warm, rich tones of Blackwood, and the deep hues of Tasmanian Oak, every piece carries its own story in grain and texture. Working with these woods allows me to honour the inherent qualities of the material, shaping each chair in a way that highlights its strength, warmth, and individuality.

The pieces are joined entirely by hand, without a single screw or nail. Traditional joinery techniques ensure each connection is seamless, strong, and built to last generations.

From sourcing local sustainably grown and reclaimed timber, splitting logs into chair parts by hand, shaving spindles, bows and crests from greenwood on a self-made shavehorse. To steam bending, turning the legs, stretchers, arm posts and back posts, traditionally drilling mortises using the mirror technique, carving and shaping the seat with a scorp, drawknife, spokeshaves and travishers, every chair is made unrushed with love, passion and sustainable timber.

Great furniture begins long before the wood is shaped. It begins in the land. By embracing regenerative farming practices, I honour a living ecosystem where trees are nurtured, soils enriched and biodiversity respected. Regenerative farming reminds me that renewal comes from care and respect; that what’s taken must be balanced by what’s given back.

My design approach begins with the Windsor tradition, a form celebrated for its strength, simplicity, and quiet elegance. I’m drawn to its honesty: each joint, curve, and line has a purpose. From that foundation, I make subtle adjustments, refining proportions or reimagining details to create pieces that feel both familiar and distinctly my own.

All chairs are finished with Osmo Timber Oils. Good for both humans and wood. Osmo finishes are based on natural oils and waxes. The oil penetrates into the wood surface, protecting the wood from deep within. The waxes form an elastic, micro porous surface which protects the wood from moisture and abrasion. The wood remains naturally beautiful, protected and durable.
