Rustic Woodworker

My ‘rustic’ furniture is being featured by the Good Egg Gallery (Studio #5) as part of Creative Samford’s June 2022 Samford and Surrounds Arts Trail - https://creativesamford.com/arts-trail.../2022-arts-trail/

I will be at the gallery alongside that 5 other featured artists.for the next 3 weekends in June from 10am-4pm. Hope to see you there.

Philip Pronger's ‘rustic’ furniture is being featured by the Good Egg Gallery (Studio #5) as part of Creative Samford’s June 2022 Samford and Surrounds Arts Trail - https://creativesamford.com/arts-trail-archive/2022-arts-trail/ Using recycled, donated or locally scavenged wood, Phil creates beautiful, practical pieces which maintain, as far as possible, the integrity and beauty of the wood in its natural form. The result is ‘honest’ furniture which is not only unique but environmentally sustainable. Phil began working with wood as a child. He comes from a long line of woodworkers, beginning with his great grandfather, who came to Australia in 1855 as a ship's carpenter. Phil still has a silky oak desk and chair fashioned by his father as a teenager nearly 100 years ago. Like his forebears, Phil endeavours to make beautiful, unique, furniture that will last for generations. See Phil’s work alongside that of other featured artists throughout June at @goodegg_gallery - Thu-Sun, 10am-3pm. #brisbaneart #brisbaneartist #brisbanegallery #brisbanefurniture #brisbanehandmade #bespokefurniture #samford #samfordvalley #moretonbayregion #visitmoretonbay

Day bed creation (with and without cushions)

The joint creative pieces by Colin Peile and myself have now moved to a new galley called Avril Johnson Gallery of Fine Art, Shop 3, 7 Main St, Samford (next to Moey's Hardware), open 10am-2pm on weekdays.

New additions by Colin Peile (Artist from the Gap) and I to the Good Egg Gallery, 345 Mt Glorious Rd, Highvale.

All the furniture pictured below in this post are now at the Good Egg Galley which is open 10am -3pm Thursday -Sunday, 345 Mt Glorious Rd, Samford Valley. The Gallery also features a variety of artists from the Samford Valley and Mt Glorious.

The recycled hardwood box and painting that goes with it highlighted in my post of 25 April are now on display at a new art gallery called Mystery on Main in Montville.

Colin Peile (Artist from The Gap) and I have begun a collaborative artist effort. Our first pieces are a wooden box/coffee table made by me from recycled timber boards, from a local old gate and tank stand from our property. Colin's painting titled "A few loose ends" are the boards prior to the building of the box. Colin has been exhibiting since 2002 (www.colinpeile.com).

As the Samford Arts Trail won't be happening this year I thought that I would share some photos of some of my creations for this event. I am still working on others which I will share later. Cheers
