25.01.2022 WE BOUGHT A MILL!!!! Hi fellow timber folks, oh how we have missed you all. To say 2020 has been a year is an understatement...... Let me catch you all up, After following his heart and passion and opening The Fiddleback Gallery in 2016 our favorite Lumberjack, Dan decided he wanted to go a step bigger and pursue his dreams of everything timber...what little woodsman doesn't dream of one day owning a sawmill...so that's exactly what we did. In September 2019 we finally became the proud owners of Clarence Siding Sawmill. Little did we know that our sawmill on the edge of Newnes Forest was about to be hit by one of the biggest fires the Blue Mountains and surrounding areas had ever endured and by October we knew the the Gosper's Mountain Fire was heading strait for us, it wasn't a matter of if , but when. For us it wasn't an option to see our dream go up in ashes (literally). So the next couple of months were spent preparing the mill as best we could with what little time we had. With the help of the RFS (several of whom, in our local station, 7 to be exact, lost there own homes), stayed and fought the fire as it approached, there was some damage but for the most part we survived it. BRING ON 2020 !!!!! lol in hindsight. Renovations have started and the clean up is mammoth. We have made some great mates along the way and are absolutely falling in love with our new community. Glenn Trap, Henry's Hire, Blowes Electrical, Reilly's Diesel Mechanic and especially Brendan Hardie, sorry if I have forgotten someone, but these guys have really been so welcoming and helpful. Floods, Covid 19 and an ongoing medical issue for Lumberjill Gabe have slowed progress a little but like the beloved Zig Zag Railway next door, we are FULL STEAM AHEAD! There will be a lot happening over the next few months and we really look forward to sharing our new Journey with you. Thank you for your ongoing encouragement and support. Lumberjack Dan & Lumberjill Gabe and the Team at Clarence Siding Sawmill. WATCH THIS SPACE

25.01.2022 Christmas done right! It was an absolute pleasure building this mammoth red gum, organic edged , outdoor table. It comfortably seats 14 and is perfect for entertaining and family gatherings. It’s sure to be a talking point and we hope this family has many cherished moments and lots of laughs sitting and enjoying each other’s company around this amazing setting! #merrychristmas #gotfiddle #thefiddlebackgallery #visitbilpin

23.01.2022 Meet Dan (if you haven't already)! Dan is the heart and soul of The Fiddleback Gallery. With over 20+ years in the carpentry industry he wanted to use his skills to do something he felt passionate about & that's how The Fiddleback Gallery was born! Dan's craftsmanship goes into all our bespoke pieces, he doesn't just want your furniture to fill a function, he wants it to add an element of nature, joy and beauty to your home. You will not find the phrases 'made to measure' ...or 'flat packed' in Dan's vocabulary, he prides himself on that.... what you will find are truly special one off pieces that speak to your spirit and will add character to your home for years to come! Call Dan to discuss your ideas #youdreamitwellbuildit #gotfiddle #thefiddlebackgallery #wereopen #comechat See more

14.01.2022 I'm just loving this newly crafted blackbutt coffee table! It oozes character with its original mill marks. Not something you'll find in a mass production factory! 'The Fiddleback Gallery , where each unique piece has a story to tell'. #gotfiddle

14.01.2022 To the Sunday driver.... It looks like it's going to be a gorgeous Sunday in picturesque Bilpin!

So many road side shops to buy local produce or a bite to eat, if you really want to spoil yourself try Bilpin Afire ! After a special and unique gift for a loved one? now we've got that covered, from colourful artwork by local artists, to amazing home made soaps and award winning books from a local author, hand made jewellery & beautifully finished timber gifts and rustic ones too... we even have these quirky barbed wire critters and chandeliers (you guessed it , also made locally). The Bells Line of Rd is the perfect trek for the Sunday driver.... Come check it out for yourself! #gotfiddle #wereopen #visitbilpin #thefiddlebackgallery

12.01.2022 When you love what you do it will never feel like work! Thank you so much for the privilege of loving what we love to do!!! We were recently given the honour of building a special memorial / remembrance seat for the sensory garden at the Ponds School SSP (our little Banjo is a student there) . We also had the pleasure of sharing a family meal at the Richmond Club and it was a joy for Damon (our big kid) to sit at the table dad built. It feels wonderful that our tiny bespok...e business is being embraced by the community we love so much. Thank you for your continued support! It's a spectacular Bilpin winters day & .... WE'RE OPEN!!!! #gotfiddle #thefiddlebackgallery #visitbilpin See more

09.01.2022 Hi There Timber Kin You may have noticed it has been rather quiet on this page but I can assure you it has been the complete opposite at Fiddleback HQ. We have been flat out working on some special projects and unique bespoke pieces for our clients, our pop up market was a success and we will be expanding this into the new year . Soon you will be seeing our custom pieces in some local business' too. Grandpa Fiddleback is a permanent part of our team and anyone who has c...alled in to the gallery on the weekend has probably had a conversation (at length) with timber guru Poppy George. The silly season is upon us and I am about to start some very gorgeous Christmas themed timber works. Stay tuned. #itsallhappeningatthefiddlebackgallery #gotfiddle #visitbilpin See more
