I enjoy navigating life! Where I put my energy wether its catching up with friends, wrestling my kids or carving, I love it all.
The first carving I ever did blew me away. I stood back in wonder and saw this creature in timber I never knew I was capable of making such a thing.
I believe my work impacts my family so the choice to carve suited us all while my kids were young.
For me having chainsaws is a great guy thing also and handy for helping people in and around our community thou caving at wood shows has been great for communities and putting a smile on peoples dials. And I have all my fingers after 25years.
Ooooo look a crocodile….
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
