Tough Dustpan & Broom

As a furniture maker I spend a lot of time making sawdust, and of course, consequently sweeping it and collecting it from the floor each day (sawdust to be later collected by a local farmer, for pigs, chickens and mulch). I have acquired many different dustpans over the years and eventually managed to break them with general use (on occasion clumsiness was a factor). Unable to find a better option, to address both durability and large capacity, I decided to develop my own, coming up with the ‘Tough’ dustpan: Our... Read The Rest →

Disregard the realities of camping, as this familiar tent form and its warming glow, conjure only the most romantic memories of camping. Beautifully detailed and designed, the lamp looks great as a room sculpture during the day and as a table or shelf lamp during the night. Measuring 10cm height, 22cm length and 18cm width, the lamp has been made from a thin porcelain that picks up all the subtle shapes of a tent....

Bird House

Many of our birds and other animals rely on tree hollows to live and breed in, but trees with hollows are a dwindling resource. Hollows only form in very old trees, at least 100 years old, so with widespread clearing for farming, timber production or development, many old, hollow-bearing trees are simply not there any more. Unfortunately, most of the available man made birdhouses in Australia don’t meet the ideal needs of the birds. Their structures and designs are taken from a European model and few are modified to suit... Read The Rest →
