It’s important to know where timber comes from and if there are ethical practices involved in harvesting and sourcing from sustainable forests. Here at Australian Workshop Creations, we only use sustainable or ethically salvaged wood and natural oil finishes that are made in Australia of course.
We believe in preserving our old grown forests and national parks for future generations and keeping Aussie jobs here in the land down under.
Wood is simply the most perfect renewable resource and I think we should be proud of what we have in Australia, especially Victoria with our timber industry supporting so many Aussie families and industries in all our states and territories!
My thoughts on logging in Victoria.
Although many argue about how much we should or should not be logging in this state I think it’s important to find a balance so we can hold on to these important fundamental industries, especially when they work well and are profitable. We need to manage the regrowth of the bush, locking them up and banning logging is a disaster waiting to happen.
Let’s not forget the timber industry also support many other businesses and industry down the line, not just the local area and communities directly involved.

I’ve been using a lot more Victorian Ash since moving back
to Heyfield & going along to the trade days at ASH each month.
(Australian Sustainable Hardwoods)
Here’s one of my Vic Ash signs hanging on a gate.
Deep black engraved lettering, natural decking oil finish.
Looking forward to making many more Chopping Boards
and other Vic Ash products in the near future so stay tuned and let’s see what
we can do with this beautiful locally grown hardwood.
I’m excited to be back in my old workshop!
With a backlog of custom made signs over the Christmas period I’m only just
catching up on things now, I’ve been busy moving and arranging timber stock,
renovating my house in Heyfield and preparing for the bushfire season which seems to have come early this year.
UPDATE :- The latest addition is a new Solid Jarrah Floor which I’m laying
down using offcuts from the mill. Pics will be up when finished.
It only cost me $40 for a pallet of Jarrah!
It will look fantastic when it’s all done, especially with the Vic Ash bench tops.👌
Of all the timber I’ve purchased over the years these two bench tops are
going to be mine forever, I will be looking at them for the rest of my life
so it feels good to finally do a project for myself for a change.
