Hey, folks, I forgot to add that I am an artist as well. I make extraordinary things from wood - all of which I call
objets d'art
Right now I am looking at my latest creation - a monumental work of genius, a combo plant stand / flower vase stand, I have just coated it with the first coat of French polish. I fashioned it from the results of that big Brissie storm 2 years ago.
It is made from Blue quangdong stand, with white gum top. The quangdong piece is part of the trunk consisting of 3 butress roots. The top is a thick slice of white gum, sanded, honed, loved to perfection.
I could not bear to see all that timber lying around my garden, so turned it into a carbon credit. It looks a million dollars, so anybody out there, I will sell it for half price - $500,000
Other things I have made:
Rocking elephant (Jumboleena)
Nhamiri gum gum hand (from driftwood) This represents a symbol from the Dreaming.
Jewel box from Cooktown Ironwood.
Tasmanian oak felt lined card table
AND MANY MORE
ALL ARE CONSIDERED AS WORKS OF ART
