Wayne started his career in 1989 on the mid-north coast of New South Wales with an apprenticeship in a small joinery shop. He built his knowledge and expertise in traditional joinery techniques over a period of ten years, working for the well-respected Fewings Joinery and AW Tod Stair & Joinery in Sydney. Wayne established his own workshop in 2004 which is now based in Gloucester NSW.
He draws inspiration from numerous craftsmen and architects, some favourites being George Ellis, John Harrison and John Verge, as well as the unadorned simplicity of the works from Shaker communities in the United States.
Commissioning bespoke joinery can be a very satisfying experience, one where you can work with Wayne to create something beautiful, perfectly suited to its intended purpose and giving a lifetime of pleasure.
His craftsmanship is not limited to joinery alone, but extends to any demanding project, having the ability to research a complex project and the skills to carry it out.
