Less than two weeks to the Peacock Saws Timber and Artisan show..... I will be closed next week to prepare, but this is a small sample of what I will be bringing.
Aiming for maximum variety, from dining table slabs, bartops, coffee table slabs, dressed boards, wood turning and carving blanks, boxmaking timbers, luthiers timbers (electric and acoustic guitar components), cookies and hundreds of smaller dressed craft wood pieces. Sunday October 11th 9am at Peacock Saws, hope to see you!
Once again I will be closed next week from October 5-10th.

I'm dressing yellow box slabs at the moment (E. melliodora) which came from Glen Innes area. I love the colour and grain, but hard to work with a density the same as ironbark. Perfect for an outdoor bench or table which catches some sun.

This is my last giant burl - a 1.5 tonne blackbutt monster....
The slabs are coming off very nicely so far. I will have slabs dry and ready to make into tables in about 4 months (burl dries relatively quickly).

You don't see much of this these days....
Most people have never seen it.
It's one of Australia's rarest timbers. It is a variant of Tasmanian myrtle called Tiger myrtle.
I love it for many reasons - one being the name which ties in the legend of the Tasmanian tiger. The black stripes occur from a fungus that works It's way into the live tree. This particular piece is also burl, making the grain patterns spectacular as well.

I'm milling some very nice red mahogany logs at the moment (E. resinifera). This is one of my favourite species of Australia hardwood - the east coast's answer to WA jarrah. I'll let you know when dry and ready to use

A couple of things to share - a customer, Alex, turned a simple bowl from a piece of my maple silkwood (Flindersia pimenteliana). It's actually the first time I've seen it fully finished and I think you would agree it is extremely nice, with an amazing lustre. I still have a reasonable amount left, in 40 and 55mm thicknesses, and widths up to 300mm.
Secondly, my first very large resin river table has reached the next stage, not far from being complete

30/07/2026

Everyone should make at least one resin table in their lives!....
Reminder that I am closed for a week starting tomorrow 31st July.

28/07/2026

Notice of one-week closure from this Friday July 31.
Open again Saturday August 8th
Apologies

For those not familiar with cadaghi (Corymbia torelliana), I'm milling some at the moment and thought I'd share some photos. A native hardwood of north Qld, but a common street tree here in Brisbane and down to Coffs at least in NSW. Quite dense at 900kg/m3, but I've found it easy to work and very attractive. I air-dry all of my timber so now need to be patient, but the 32mm boards could be dry by Christmas.
