About this Business

With a lifetime of a close association with the native bush of New Zealand, coupled with a previous career as a Forest Ranger it is probably not surprising that I have a love for New Zealand timbers. 1987 saw a turning point in my working life which resulted in wood turning for a living. Self taught I soon developed my own ideas and designs working with our spectacular burr timbers and high quality hard woods. The need to enhance the value of our scarce and highly valuable timber resource has led me into the field of hand carving. Success in this has resulted in sales all over the world. Twenty years working with wood has taught me to let the wood do all of the talking and for me to assist that process wherever needed. In such a disposable world I hope my craft will make a contribution to those things we treasure and pass on to our children. Kind Regards Kemp Lenihan
