2026 brings new beginnings
New year, new logo incorporating a sketch rendition of one of my camphor laurel surf fins!
Behind the scenes
To start the year I have been focusing on procuring new sources of timber and stocking up with old suppliers. Bowl blanks have come in from Pops Shed with a focus on some magnificent Camphor Laurel and exotics have been arriving from the likes of Carving and Turning timber sales.
I am obsessed with Walnut lately and have found a supplier whom seems to have good supply at a reasonable price!
I have also had a focus on making and keeping some things for myself, giving me the freedom to experiment with new ideas, a few you may have already seen on my social feeds this rattle made from a piece of Walnut, curly Maple and recycled skateboard!

The Walnut focused drop is now live!
Kicking off a new idea this year I am releasing seasonal drops, giving me the ability to streamline my workflow, as many of you would know I continue to work full time as well as run Ourlittleshed as a positive creative outlet for myself so streamlining each part of the process should help me be more efficient.
Check out some of the new pieces in the walnut drop below!

A pair of trinket dishes

Next up on the workbench some half finished bowls as part of the next collection which will be small bowl focused!
Stay tuned for the next drop!
New mini bowls are in the works, more walnut bowls are pre cut on the bench along with some more myrtle and figured Tasmanian blackwood. I have another batch of worry rocks in the works along with more of my fin designs with a focus on preparing for a good run into markets at the end of the year!
As always thanks for following along and I look forward to talking to you all directly!
Nathan.
