All my life I’ve had a huge interest in exploring and investigating creatures and right from a kid looking out the car window looking for snakes on the road or lizards hoping Dad would stop the car to let me out….
Now I have Kids of my own, I was first inspired bt them to carve in my home town “Maleny”where after dark I would chase my son down the street age 3 as he and I loved doing that….Along the way I would point out sleeping birds under awnings, possums, spiders and much more and during the day there was very little entertainment for kids accept hiding in the A-frame signs outside stores. Dreaming away I told no one my vision of animals all over roof tops and in businesses and It was 1 year before I carved my first animal for the local”Watsons” Garage, in Maleny….and today some 45 carvings can be seen in and around the town….. I worked hard of an evening to get the carvings out as businesses ordered them daily…..
Today I’ve expanded my work to shows all around Australia and carving for the public. I’ve pushed myself to create finer work without losing my touch for delivering simplicity and the feeling that go with each piece.
This work also took me away from an old job allow my creative side to open up plus stay flexible for my children as they grow up…
The Croc is the new Honour Board at the local School
WW2 digger Nev Anning passed on 2014 and commission by he’s wife to have Nev carved placing orchards in a tree which he loved doing…..He was carved from a tree felled a week before the carving commenced and turned out Nev planted the tree some 40yrs ago…
This 70kg Carving has qualities in the polishing along with the Subtle curves of a large snake this weight. I enjoyed making this piece as it took over 3 weeks to make.
Commissioned by Patrice O’sullivan. Carved with a tungsten chain the timber was like steel and created enormous friction on the saw as Australia has some of the hardest timbers and this is one. The Brolga sits in the garden today of Thurloogoona Station Western QLD 800km inland from Brisbane.
Wondi’s Charlotte, the Emu that adopted the town for 4 years and finally died in a motor accident so in Memory of her she lives in the local pub foyer just off the main st.
This lung fish is carved from Tallowood a very hard Eucalyptus and was hidden in a garage by the local councilor for years with many attempts to retrieve it as public art for the town to enjoy! Finally a significant member of the community had contacts high up to negotiate its removal from the shed and placed where it should be, in public.
This piece took 3years for the timber to finally cure for polishing and was finally sold to Tibor Rasash into the foyer of hes hotel chain. I had a dream for this to go into the Chairmans Lounge in Quantas but the fact a friend bought it made it so much more special!
I was chosen by the Harbour matster who lived in Maleny and happen to see me carve at the Maleny wood show. We met over a cuppa and from their organised to fly to Groote Eylandt in the NT. When I arrived after 4 flights into the Eylandt. I finally saw the log and my saws weren’t big enough to cut right through the log and fuel wasnt available for the first 2 days making the situation interesting though finally pulling myself together I managed to create to end piece after seven days morning and evening complete this piece.

Testimonial We were delighted in the way Matt approached the project of creating a model of Harry our 11 year old labradoodle. He now sits proudly at our front door and our visitors are amazed at the likeness. They are indeed “blown away” when we explain that the work was done solely by a chainsaw. We cannot recommend Matt highly enough from the original meeting and discussing our vision; to the careful selection of the timber (Gympie Messmate); to the many photos and comments we received of each stage of “Harry” being very skilfully produced. Thanks again Matt for an unbelievable lifelike creation that brings a smile to our faces every time we see Harry at our front door. Ross and Dorothy Marlow Noosa Heads
