About Craig Howard

Master craftsman Craig Howard is creating tomorrow's antiques today. Craig is one of Tasmania's finest timber furniture craftsmen working with the world renowned Tamanian special species timbers including Huon pine, blackwood, blackheart sassafras and myrtle, as well as selected imported timbers such as cedar and mahogany.

Craig has been designing and producing fine furniture for over 30 years and believes every piece of furniture should stand the test of time. Every piece of furniture is meticulously handcrafted.



We source our timber through the Tasmanian Fine Timber's 'chain of custody'. We respect the need to sustainably harvest. We want our industry to be still here in the next century and centuries to come.

We cut selected logs for the best grain patterns and timber colour to suit your individual specifications and tastes. We use a combination of traditional methods such as hand dovetailing and mortice & tennon, using modern technologies in glues, and ultra-modern machinery to precision machine, dress and dry our timbers.



We ourselves proudly mill, air- and kiln-dry all of the special species timber we use. In finishing our timbers we use only natural products as we believe the timber is, in a sense, still alive, still breathing; we believe it is essential to treat fine timber with respect!

We specialise in native Tasmanian timbers including Huon pine, King Billy pine, blackheart sassafras, blackwood, celery-top pine and Tasmanian myrtle, to name just a few, but can also source imported timbers as required.
