Realistic graphite artist drawing Australian wildlife in pencil For me, the greatest buzz comes from collecting discarded bits of timber that most would consider rubbish, broken doors and old furniture etc. Then, using traditional woodworking methods turn it into a treasured heirloom piece. With this and to enhance its uniqueness, a fine marquetry inlay is added. From my perspective as a fine wood artisan, this is the very least that I can do for the planet and the next generation. I believe that there is no other wildlife more in need of our attention than the unique and varied Australian fauna. Which is why it's my primary topic and motivation in both marquetry and the humble graphite pencil. As an artist and a naturalist, it is a joy to bring to life on paper or timber any of Australia's wild creatures and on occasions, the not so wild. So it is my hope that these photorealistic drawings and fine marquetry works will in some small way heighten the awareness of these wonderful creatures and, just as importantly, the unique natural systems they inhabit.

Happily ‘The Regent Keepsake’ was sold at last weeks exhibition. So I thought I would share a little about it. The box was in recycled Red Cedar with a Tasmanian Sassafras top. It was lined in Huon Pine and had a sliding lift out tray in antique Red Cedar. Antique because the cedar was recycled from an old skirting board circa 1900. The back of the skirting board still had the scrub plane tracks left in it by the craftsperson who shaped it way back then. Also old cedar is much harder, denser and darker than newer cedar as is proof in the pic. The Regent Bower Bird inlay motif had a number of shop cut veneers; some are Ebony, Mulberry, Musk, Yellow Wood and Spalted Native Tamarind. The lid lift although it looks a lot like Huon is the same Yellow Wood in the Regent Bower Bird and is very much harder than Huon.
