Another amazing day on this crazy adventure. Collected the rest of the timber I needed thanks to the supportive folk at the West Coast Wilderness Railway workshop here in Queenstown. This is what I have been waiting for, discarded huon pine. Perfect for laminating with a history behind it. All that is needed is some warmth by the fire and some care.

The bench is busy with laminating experiments. This one is made up from black wood and huon of cuts from the manufacture of chess boards. I am off to a the community workshop this morning for some sanding and then to meet a local spoon carver for some tea and talking timber.

#artistresidency #railway #timber #wood #recycled #recycledwood #recycledart A first for me yesterday. Carving some King Billy pine. Like Huon pine it is an old growth tree known to live for thousands of years. Thankfully it is now protected from logging, but was in the past used for boat building through to house construction. This was once again a discarded piece destined to set in flames as kindling. For my practice I feel it to be extremely important to work timber that would otherwise be waste and what a joy it is to run a knife through.
