This is a desert timber found in the outback of Western Australia. It is a dense, slow growing timber that produces beautiful features in its grain patterns. The burl in which this piece is made from grows on the lower quadrant of the tree, close to its base. It is a tumour like defect that occurs in the life cycle of random trees. These burls produce the highest quality features for custom pieces

Scortched Jarrah Burl with Gold Leaf inlay.

This was a commission piece for a private collector in Brisbane. It is made from Silver Maple a timber that grows in the Northwestern corner of USA and produces an array of different features.

The deep rich tones of red that transitions to a pale gold towards the natural edge gives this piece a multi dimensional appearance. The rugged natural edge adds another level of texture which transitions into a smooth body and makes it more appealing to the touch. 

Marri is a tree that is native to the southwest regions of Western Australia. Marri produces deep natural gum lines with in the growth rings during its life cycle. These gum lines create striking features in the timber that are individual to every piece. The curly feature is created from the annual rings compressing on themselves during the lifecycle of the tree and this produces a waving shimmering effect in the finished product.

The feature in this piece is incredible, it has the most unusual patterns almost 3D to the eye. This piece was turned fresh and left to dry naturally, the texture is formed as the piece dries. As the water evaporates, the cell structure shrinks and collapses in on itself and this forms its smooth ‘pleasing to the touch’ surface.
