11.01.2022 => https://www.tasnique.com.au/tasmanian-huon-pine-corporate-g This beautiful hand crafted solid Tasmanian Huon Pine box is our most popular corporate gift box. Being a medium size box it is ideal for many uses such as a jewellery box or special keep sake box. Huon pine is a rain forest timber unique to Tasmania and due to an essential natural oil in the wood it has a unique one-of-a-kind smell which also makes it highly resistant to fungal and insect attack. Huon Pine range...s from almost white in colour to light cream and yellowish with fine and closely spaced annual growth rings, and sometimes small black birds eye markings. The Huon Pine used in this product was recovered in a sustainable way from the Tasmanian forest floor under licence by the Tasmanian government and allocated to the company Millers. It is the remnant of the old piners of long ago or natural death of the tree. Retiree and maker Bruce with 30 years’ experience building homes and cabinet making demonstrates his keen eye for Tasmanian woodcraft lovingly hand finishing each box to perfection, all in his home-based Launceston workshop. Bruce started making his boxes in 1999 after retiring, at first for a friends small gift shop and then to much surprise found his boxes were being taken all over the world, so much was the demand now his son Craig helps him out in the workshop. Whilst Bruce & Craig have a modern workshop with all the newer woodworking tools at the end of the day nothing beats the finish of good old fashion elbow Grease. In other words, the timber products they make are all hand finished. Bruce & Craig firmly believe gaining a quality finish is as much about feel as sight. Bruce knows his timbers and only purchases select grade material sustainably sourced in Tasmania for his boxes. The timbers arrive seasoned and ready to be machined to dimension. Bruce thicknesses each board and then invests extra time to colour match each component to provide the best combination for each box. Over the years Bruce and Craig have built relationships with a small number of well-respected millers and timber merchants in Tasmania and always makes sure to source their timber sustainably. Bruce's Boxes are fine solid timber products. Unlike glossy thin veneers there is no substitute for the feel, smell and look of real solid timber. Full length piano hinges are used for attaching the lids to the box bodies with their own specially designed back rest which gives great stability and strength. Bruce & Craig are sure you'll will enjoy your Tasmanian Huon Pine Gift Box as much as they loved making it for you. => https://www.tasnique.com.au/tasmanian-huon-pine-corporate-g
