Pair of Shells
Handcrafted from reclaimed Rimu
150mm x 85mm
140mm x 80mm
Finished in a combination of Tung Oil and Beeswax
Lots of beach trips this summer—and many buckets of collected shells with my daughter—have shaped the design of these small dishes.
I kept noticing how naturally shells hold and cradle small things, and that idea stuck with me. These pieces take their form from that — they're shaped like little keepsakes from the coast and are perfect for holding rings, earrings, or other small treasures.

I like working with wood that has history. To me, that means it has lived another life before I start working with it. It might have been a beam supporting a house, a chest of drawers storing someone’s clothes, a staircase, or a chair. By the time it reaches me, it’s often worn from years of use. I carefully strip it back to reveal its unique features - grain patterns, nail holes, and subtle cracks. These details add character, making each piece, including the one you are looking at, truly one of a kind.
