Designed, handmade and archival framed this 500 year old rare book leaf. There is only one of this leaf, and only one of this frame in the world. How cool and unique is that?!

Handmade in Tasmanian Blackwood with Jarrah splines.
We handmake frames like a piece of furniture, and frame to protect so that your precious memories and art can pass on.

We have been quiet on social media recently, just being busy on projects, some of which take very long time to make because they are challenging. Most recently though, we finished this project for , and we are just so proud of the result that we want to share some photos with you.

We made the frame from Tasmanian Myrtle, its colours just match the print so perfectly, and can you spot the Blue Gum inlay in the inside of the frame and the splines? Its subtlety and fine details have made some difference to the final product. And of course we use some fine materials in the framing to complement the frame. The end result looks a bit like fine furniture.

We hope you like what we share!

We have finished many projects recently, all of them very special, and all of them make us feel very proud! But this one, in particular, it is just a piece of art that is breathtaking, especially if you can see it in real life!

It is a wedding box, made for a newly wed couple, to put a special book that recorded every single day they spent together, before they got married. It is a touching story - the power of love!

We designed and handcrafted from beginning to end, using Tasmanian Myrtle, Huon Pine, Jarrah, and Silky Oak. The box is 38x36cm, the biggest box Ken has made so far.

We cherish the power of memories and art, that's what we do, and we are proud to be able to do this for you. One by one, frame by frame, box by box, story by story, touching every heart and every soul!

We have been quiet since we moved to Melbourne - moving and organising, holiday season, finding and settle into new space and new work space all take time.

We are proud to say that the workshop is now brighter, a lot more spacious, and organized for the work we do. And the new and bigger work table, so we can cater for much bigger size products and projects.

Ken has been using a lot of time and energy to design, build and organise this...so that he can deliver your orders more efficiently. It is not yet there, but we are getting there.
