Kia ora

This isn't a shop of finished things waiting for a buyer. It's a place to make something that doesn't exist yet — a piece that carries your story, your material, or the person you're making it for.

Two crafts, one idea

Wood and light

I work in two crafts that meet in the same place. What ties them together isn't the tools — it's that the best pieces are created with someone.

Woodworking

Native timber, turned & shaped

Native New Zealand timbers — swamp kauri, pōhutukawa, pūriri, rewarewa — turning, resin work, joinery and finishing, into pieces that carry their own grain and history.

Laser engraving

Artwork in wood, tile & glass

Engraved artwork from your own image or artwork — or something carefully crafted with AI tools to capture the essence of your story — then set into a material that matters to you.

Commissions

Made to a brief

From a club trophy to a life-member award to a keepsake made from your own material — I take on bespoke commissions for clubs, schools, businesses and people. Recent work includes trophies for Bowls Auckland and a university department.
