The Melbourne Home Show - 2017


The Melbourne Home Show was held over four huge days at the MCEC.

Christopher was proud to be involved with the collaboration between Hydrowood and Whelan The Warehouse, creating an award winning stand for 2017.


This handcrafted Whiskey Cabinet has been designed and constructed by Christopher, utilising Huon Pine salvaged by Hydrowood from Lake Pieman.

Huon Pine trees are some of the oldest and rarest in the world, and grow exclusively in Tasmania.  Taking around 500 years to mature, it is incredible to note that this timber started growing before Australia had been discovered and before the world's oldest Whiskey distillery - Old Bushmills  had been established in 1608.


No detail has been left out, with the interior fitted with Tasmanian Kangaroo leather, smoked mirrors, a touch open door and the striking Huon Birdseye veneer.

This Whiskey cabinet is available for purchase, or Christopher can customise one to suit your needs.


The Blackwood Credenza, with Hydrowood's fiddleback Blackwood, features touch open door/drawers and completed with Christopher's signature legs.  This piece is currently for sale in our Gippsland showroom.



Christopher also featured a Hydrowood celery top, bar table.



Thank you to Hydrowood  and Whelan's for the opportunity to showcase our proudly handcrafted Australian made furniture.

Please do not hesitate in contacting us, to bring your next dream piece to life.

Whiskey Cabinets

With his love of the wild grained timbers, teamed with all the facets of Whiskey, it was only time that Christopher combined his two passions together. "The Vault" Whiskey Cabinet has been designed and constructed by Christopher, utilising Huon Pine salvaged by Hydrowood from Lake Pieman. Huon Pine trees are some of the oldest and rarest in the world, and grow exclusively in Tasmania.  Taking around 500 years to mature, it is incredible to note that this timber starting growing before Australia had been discovered and before the world's oldest Whiskey distillery  Old Bushmills  had been established in 1608. Christopher utilised the stunning Tasmanian Blackwood from Hydrowood, that has spent the last 25 years under Tasmanian waters. The interior is fitted with Tasmanian Kangaroo leather and secured with a Tasmanian Jacksons Lock.  You can read more about the incredible Hydrowood story here:  hydrowood.com.au Straight from the Wo
