The perfect property for the woodcraftsperson and aspiring B&B owner. Pam and I have been here for the past 21 years and have enjoyed every minute of it. We’re now ready to downsize both home and studio, and shift our focus to select commissions and speculative work only. And, if the time’s not right to find a suitable buyer, we’ll happily stay put, as 2019 has begun very well for us with interesting sales and commissions.

So nice to have my Rhythm Desk in Blackbutt, Wenge and sterling silver back in the studio, even if it is to undertake water damage repairs to the top. Commissioned in 2005 by a long-term patron. Here you see the three triangular drawers, each of which swivels out on a seperate segment of the Wenge leg. Taper roller bearings fitted to each one helps to keep it from sagging, while providing an almost frictionless action. A fine, 1mm sterling silver inlay is set in just shy of the top of each drawer. Some more pictures of the other drawers to follow.

Absolutely, the duck’s nuts! I am not normally one to proselytise tool brands, but I’ve now had this Veritas PM-V11 blade in my No 5 for several years now, and its performance blows me away compared to anything else Ive tried. For me, a distant second is my Clifton HCS blade - also a darn good blade. This blade’s edge just hangs in there, and when it comes to sharpening time, it’s a breeze. I love it !

Sunday arvo on the ancient Munda Biddi trail that is now dedicated to mountain biking only. The track extends from the Perth Hills several hundred kilometres south to Walpole. The undergrowth at this time of the year is awash with wildflowers. Here, as far as the eye can see, we find ourselves in the midst of ‘egg and bacon’ bush, which appears to luminesce in the late afternoon sun, and the chirp of birds.
