For this kitchen island, Tim made a laminated benchtop in locally grown Elm.

Pictured is a pine chest that Tim is in the process of making. More to follow when it's complete.

It could be a blanket box, or a coffee table. In this case its planned use is on a covered terrace, for storage.

The projects Tim has been working on recently have involved plenty of consultation with the client, which is something he really enjoys. Combining his knowledge with their vision is a great way to solve problems and come up with something really new and fresh.

Whether it's providing a scrap piece of wood for a client to test their stains for a mantlepiece, or suggesting matching wooden shelves to compliment a counter top, Tim really thinks about the outcome of the project. That's what makes his service, and him, special.

For those who don't know, Tim suffered a stroke 4 weeks ago but is recovering well. Never one to stay sedentary, he has been out in his shed sorting things out and tinkering with a few projects. Even, to the likely disapproval of his medical team, driving his loader and working his mill!

As well as slowly getting back into making furniture, he is now fully around and available to sell bulk or cut-to-order timber from his wood yard in Hawkes Bay.

Thank you for all those who have offered support over the last few weeks ❤️

Everyone might remember the video of Tim using the 100 year old mortising machine - swipe for a reminder of this beauty. Well here are the results!

These are four-panel interior doors, constructed using wedged mortise and tenon joints. Close up, you can see the details of the wooden joint. These are made from poplar - a strong and lightweight wood. They are labour intensive, requiring about 20 hours of work for one door!

Turn your sound down for this one, or put on some ear-muffs! If you don't know what sawmilling is, swipe for a peek at the process.

Tim manages his own wood from tree to table, and has a strong focus on sustainability. He has spent the last few weeks milling trees which came down on neighboring farms during the big winds in October, and the wood is ready for new creations!

This is a mortising machine - thought to be around 100 years old. Its sole purpose? To make square or rectangular holes. Tim is making some old fashioned wooden doors with through and wedged mortise and tenon joints, and therefore this massive piece is indispensable. Why buy a new tool, when this one works great and looks so cool!

Swipe of a video of him using it - later part is sped up. Very asmr 🥰

Refinishing a coffee table! The video is giving me ASMR 💆‍♀️ soooo satisfying 😌

We have had this table for 15 years, and for the last few years it has lived outdoors in the elements. No worries - it can be sanded down and re-oiled to look better than new in a matter of minutes.
