Good furniture lasts generations.

We have chosen the long path of craftsmanship; the hand of the maker is evident in all our work.

Tonks sideboard in blackwood and wenge

I was unwittingly collecting Evan’s work before I knew it; I happened to buy a couple of his early pieces through a gallery when he was just starting out. Two years ago, he called me up and said “Tony, I have finally found the log!” He called it his “Number 2” log because it was only the second log of this quality he has come across. Evan and his craftsmen made Lynne and I a beautiful side board and an Oxbow with 10 Clearwater chairs, all from the same log of highly figured Otway blackwood. Magnificent!

Cataract Ergonomic Rocker

I commissioned from Evan- to the measurements that my occupational therapist recommended- a rocking chair, a dining chair and an outdoor chair.

My chairs are works of art, bring me joy, comfort and lots of favourable comments. I’m housebound and I like to be surrounded by beautiful things that are practical/functional and are the simple pleasures of life…

My wife Angela and I received a Tamar coffee table crafted by the incredibly skilled team at Dunstone Design as a wedding gift from some very good friends. We love it. As soon as the Tamar coffee table arrived it tied everything together. The sleek sweeping lines of the solid jarrah timber construction and tinted glass top really finish off our living space beautifully. It is hard to imagine the room without it now.  Your skill and ability as Australia’s finest furniture craftsmen is only matched by your generosity, integrity, and honesty.
