21.01.2022 If you get a chance drop in and check out some of our work at Cafe Umami in Wynyard. Together Sandra and I have put together our very first ever exhibition and we are happy with the results. Hope you are able to enjoy it also. ... Cheers! See more

21.01.2022 Tasmanian Blackwood legs I have been turning on the lathe for a bespoke bench I am about to create.

17.01.2022 Taking orders for my bird houses, this is the first one I have just completed for an order. I can create them all a little different to suit your requirements. The birds love them.

16.01.2022 Been crazy busy the last few weeks in my workshop working with Huon Pine and Blackwood, the smell of the wood is a bonus. Today I loaded up the boot of my car with chopping boards ready for laser printing, can’t wait to see them finished with my new Forrest-Smith logo, I’m going to be supplying a couple of businesses around town so keep your eyes open if you are looking for any eco friendly sustainable Tasmania timber and locally made gifts.

15.01.2022 Here is a piece I was commissioned to do recently for a Pilates Studio to put in their entrance way. A 3metre handcrafted solid Tasmanian Blackwood bench seat with shoe rack underneath and an organ oil burnished finished. Here is a couple of pics before it was assembled and completed.

14.01.2022 There is nowhere else I would rather be than in my shed whittling wood. Such a relaxing way to spend the afternoon....tunes blaring in the background.

13.01.2022 Whittling Wood. All in a days work.....I wish! These spoons take quite some to whittle but it is so well worth the time and effort I put in to them, as I find whittling wood so therapeutic.

11.01.2022 Over the past few weeks I have spent many hours hand carving a leaf out of Tasmanian Huon Pine. This leaf I have created purposely for my wife, therefore it is not for sale but I am happy to take commissions to make similar, bearing in mind each piece I create will be unique as the wood itself lends to the finished design.

08.01.2022 Been working on a Blackwood bench seat and I am pretty happy with the finished work. I used reclaimed Tasmanian Blackwood and I was able to recycle an industrial copper earthing strap as the brace. Even my old mate Klyde gave it the tick of approval. #stoked

08.01.2022 Here is my most recent job. Crafting three double glazed timber window sashes and three fixed double glazed units for a cottage at Wellers Inn, Burnie. Making the sashes was fine, but the installation has proven to be a tad challenging!

06.01.2022 Whittled Tasmanian Huon Pine Spoons on Tasmanian Blackwood Chopping Boards. These beautifully individually crafted pieces make great gifts, so If you are in the market for unique handmade Tasmanian craftsmanship, please message me to place an order. Taking orders for Christmas. Cheers

04.01.2022 Recently I have been working on some pieces for my wife's new business 'ilk Yoga' using Golden Cypress and natural edged Blackwood slabs. All pieces finished with natural oils.

04.01.2022 A federation bay window restoration recently completed. Including making the three double hung weighted double glazed sash windows. #timber #woodworking #timberwindowframes #federationhouse #windows #carpentry #carpenter

03.01.2022 Contrast of wood platters in Tasmanian Huon Pine and Tasmanian Blackwood. And a hand whittled spoon in Huon Pine.

02.01.2022 Marking up the Huon Pine boards for resale...beer in hand makes the workload a breeze.
