5. Raven Mahon, TW Shelving, walnut.
‘I have always admired the work of Wharton Esherick and so incorporated panelling along the back with an irregular pattern inspired by the studio floorboards. Open frames on the shelf dividers let light through to counter the density and weight. Photo: Northside Studio
6. Bryan Cush, Gunnamatta is a wall- mounted Tasmanian blackwood cabinet of asymmetrical design with a sliding Victorian ash tambour door and polished brass handles. Photo: Dijana Ross
7. Dale Woodley, Crackle Credenza. ‘...it started with a dive into 1960s quilted Chanel handbags and spiralled out control from there. Blackbutt veneers were grain matched and laminated onto black MDF. A Shaper Origin handheld CNC and a range of cutters were used to cut though the veneers and bevel the diamond pattern.’
8. Jess Humpston, Compact Trio. ‘At just 90mm high, this is a venture into spatial minimums and contains “just enough” space to store the necessary items and a quick check before walking out the door.’ Photo: Daniel Mulheran

9. Bec Evans, Angle Cabinet. Made for small treasures from Californian walnut and and Australian white cedar. The design is playful exploration of hand cut joinery with the construction resolved to complement a geometry that shifts as you walk past.
10. Zach Danoy, Whisky Cabinet. ‘The jarrah doors slide effortlessly to reveal an internal drawer. Behind, a wall of glorious bookmatched Huon pine enhances the colour of the whisky.’

11. Alby Johnston, Undula Cabinet, Tasmanian myrtle, tiger eye stone slab, Huon pine, bronze. ‘Compound curving end panels and drawer fronts are each pillowed and hand carved to express
the natural figure of the Tasmanian myrtle. The solid end panels have a very complex tongue and groove joinery to follow the curved legs whilst allowing for timber movement.’ Photo: Chuck Bradley
12. Steve Kelly, Aislin Bedside Cabinets, American walnut. ‘The finished cabinets have far exceeded my expectations and are the family heirloom pieces my wife and I were hoping for.’ Photo: Sarah Wilson
13. Derek Calderwood, Sideboard in
Queensland Maple. ‘Mid-century
inspired and built as a commission for my 7 wife to remove the kids homework and
craft equipment from our dining table!’
14. Matthew Keayes: ‘The Don Whisky Cabinet showcases Don Bradman’s cricket bat and was made out of the small workshop I built in our backyard during Covid.’ Photo: Tobias Clifford
15. Patrick Connell’s Beachcomber Hallway Table ‘uses ethically sourced and sustainable American oak, European beech, American cherry and recycled King William pine, and garners inspiration from mid-century architecture as its main structure sits lightly upon its frame.’ Photo: Anne-Louise Thomas
