Custom Woodwork

Hand-carved Tasmanian timber animals, art, and keepsakes, made slowly with heart in Claremont.

An atmospheric image of a long, narrow timber display table made from a single slab of Tasmanian blackwood, its live edges preserved and lightly polished, running diagonally across the frame. On it, a curated progression of wooden animals increases in size and complexity from front to back, beginning with a tiny, smooth penguin and culminating in an intricate, layered carving of a Tasmanian devil landscape scene. Cinematic track lighting from above creates pools of warm illumination along the sequence, leaving the surrounding gallery space in soft shadow. Shot from a low angle along the table’s edge, with the nearest animal in sharp focus and the rest falling into a gentle blur, the mood is sophisticated, narrative, and exhibition-like, evoking a journey through skill and imagination.

A single, elegant Tasmanian timber sculpture of a stylized whale, carved from a single piece of figured blackwood, its surface satin-smooth with subtle ripples in the grain. The whale rests on a low, matte black plinth in a minimalist studio space with concrete floors and a muted grey backdrop. A focused overhead spotlight and faint ambient fill lighting create a cinematic contrast, outlining the whale’s silhouette and casting a precise, elongated shadow. Framed using the rule of thirds from a slightly low angle, the sculpture dominates the scene while negative space enhances its presence. The mood is contemplative and refined, evoking the feeling of a modern art museum with a natural, organic heart.
