This is the home that Arthur and Alice lived in. In 1890, after living with Arthur’s parents for some time, the newlyweds wanted a place of their own.  So they purchased this little home.  Alice was a lady of small stature, and the elevated front made her feel 10 foot tall.  they had 3 little boys.

127 years later, one of their great great grand kids decided it was time to renovate. So he lovingly pulled out every piece of timber he could get his hands on to make the place more open planned.

127 years later, we gratefully collected these timbers and brought them to our workshop.

127 years later, they will be made into pieces that have breathed life into this world.

127 years later, they can be a part of your home.  Solid, beautiful 7 full of history.

We have created our first piece.  Not the most amazing piece, but what WAS amazing is its creation.  The fact that it is here.

Have you ever sat and pondered whilst doing Life?  Pondered and fantasised about the life that you dreamed of?  The life that is beyond your grasp?  The life that had you:  the resources, education or right partner …  that you would be living?   Well, this cutting board is the springboard into that life.

It is a long story of where we were,  but we are here now.   We don’t swim.   We don’t even own bathers.  This springboard we have seen on TV …  but we never got so close so as to be standing on one.   And let me tell you  …  it’s wobbly out here.

Join us out here  –  there’s plenty of space here on the leading edge
