Here's just a teaser of what possible with a broad range of materials, budgets and deadlines.

Last couple jobs for the year and its restoration time on these two Blackwood & Blackwood veneer desks for some new clients.

Pipers Truline Pty Ltd were producers of office and home furniture, founded in 1919 in Ulverstone, Tasmania.

Tasmanian locals have no doubt seen or used one of their Blackwood tables, desks, or chairs during their time on the island and it will be nice to see how they come up after a simple restoration and refinish.

First coat of Danish oil on this Blackheart Sassafras (Atherosperma moschatum) coffee table.
This piece was all made from two salvaged Sassafras boards leaning against a shed in northern Tasmania.

While we like to take our time working on custom designs for clients, not everyone is seeking the price tag and timeframes of a high-end piece for their home or business.
Here are some of the recent functional FDRU pieces produced with quick turnarounds for local clients.

Made a few cheese boards for a charity auction this month raising funds for the Variety Clubs annual Tas Bash.
We got behind Matt from MPR Sharpening and his eye-catching "Connie the cow" entry.
Show them some love if you see them all out and about across the state!
