With an unwavering commitment to Tasmanian timber, Craig Howard & Son Jack stands as one of Tasmania’s premier timber furniture craftsmen. Our expertise encompasses over 50 years in furniture making, design, and timber milling. We have imbibed the art of working with world-renowned Tasmanian special species timbers, including Huon Pine, Kingbilly Pine, Celery-Top Pine, Blackwood, Blackheart Sassafras, and Myrtle, as well as selected imported timbers such as cedar and mahogany.

Every Piece Tells a Story

Each furniture piece that leaves our workshop is a testament to our dedication to excellence.

At Craig Howard & Son, we blend time-honoured techniques with modern precision, hand-selecting each log and meticulously refining it through precision band-milling. This hands-on approach ensures that every board is perfectly matched, creating a harmonious masterpiece that speaks directly to the individuality of each client. This unparalleled quality control and timber continuity, allows us to choose boards that suit each unique piece of furniture for our client. We even offer the unique opportunity for clients to hand-select boards for their pieces, ensuring every creation is truly one-of-a-kind.

We meticulously air and kiln-dry all of the special species of timber we use, paying homage to the natural beauty and integrity of the wood. In our finishing processes, we exclusively utilise natural products as a mark of respect for the inherent life and essence of the timber.
