Some earlier pieces


Here is a few shots of two pieces that a made a while back. I employed the glass casting skills of friend Jim Mackay to make up the blue shelves and centre piece. The timber is locally grown Rata, which is extremly dense and able to be sanded and polished up to a nice satin sheen. The cabinet is polished stainless steel and the three materials combined to be a nice mix.


The Cabinet was made for a Nelson furniture collective show and was purchased by a friend, which is always nice! The 'Ebb section' sculpture below was made for an exhibition in Nelson. It hung around for a while in our gallery, but was subsequently bought by a dealer in Hong Kong.


 They sent me the photo below of how they displayed it in their gallery, on a lightbox, which i thought looked really cool. wish i'd thought of that... They sold it a little while later to the Korean wood museum. interesting trip on the whole.
