New website: “Custom Dining Tables” and available stock

Introducing my fresh new website dedicated solely to dining tables. Why another site, you may wonder? Well, I’ve pondered over the unique experience of purchasing handmade furniture. There’s always been my romanticized notion of engaging directly with the artisan in a shop, delving into intricate details, envisioning how the furniture seamlessly integrates into daily life. These conversations fuel my passion for the craft.

But, lately another thought has cropped up… sometimes there is merit in being able to create an order simply in a web shop…

Well, now both options are available.

Please have a look and let me know what you think.


In September, I’ll be heading to Nelson, to the New Zealand Centre for Fine Woodworking. Stuart Faulkner (Heartwood Woodworking) and I have crafted a coffee table making course, debuting this spring. You can see more information on the course here.

The coffee table I made for the course is now for sale on my website. Feel free to take a look here.


AVAILABLE NOW: I’ve just finished a small batch of stunning Elodie side tables. Crafted from your choice of beautiful locally sourced Blackwood or Walnut.

These tables work wonderfully nestled into a sofa or armchair. They also function very nicely as bedside tables.

I designed these side tables during the pandemic, just before we moved back to New Zealand. A time of strange beauty, cocooned with my family. These tables are named after my daughter, Elodie Anderson.

Many inquire about the technique used to create the texture on the leg ends. It’s not achieved with a spinning machine tool or hammer. Instead, a small gouge, carefully sharpened to a mirror finish, is used to slice tiny pockets out of the end grain, leaving a burnished surface that needs no sanding.

These tables are available here.
