I’ve been using a lot more Victorian Ash/Tasmanian Oak since moving back
to Heyfield and going to the retail outlet at ASH sawmill each month.

Workshop News
Here’s one of my Vic Ash signs hanging on a gate.
Deep-engraved lettering, natural decking oil finish.
Sign made for a gate. The name Bernulfsuuic – The Rustic Eating Establishment was from their favourite eating place in Lancashire in the UK. You can view their facebook page here. facebook.com/bernulsuuic/
New Products
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’ll be adding them to my shop as they become available.
I’m excited to be back in my old workshop and close to the timber mill again!
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 some nice new Alpine Oak
(Victorian Ash) kitchen bench tops & kitchen floor.
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 every day for many years to come, so it feels good to finally do a project for myself for a change.
LATEST NEWS UPDATES
In 2025 they pretty much stopped using Victorian Ash at the mill as they have completely banned logging here in Victoria. The mill now stocks Tasmanian Oak which is almost exactly the same species as Ash. They also stock American Oak and sometimes Jarrah if I’m lucky enough to get some at a good price.
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, what a bargain!
It will look fantastic when it’s all done, especially with these Vic Ash bench tops.👌
