A lifelong passion for working with timber.

From around eight years old, I was using Dad’s tools to build bike ramps, dog kennels and just about anything else I could think of.

Dad only had two rules: be safe and put every tool back where I found it. Although I still have one of his hammers to this day, so I guess that second rule didn’t quite sink in.

At school, woodwork quickly became the subject I loved most. I’d often finish my own projects and then help other students complete theirs—so they could walk away with a decent grade too.

From there, I gained hands-on experience in house framing, worked alongside builders constructing homes from the ground up, and spent time doing shop fit-outs and other building work.

K&B Custom Woodworks is proudly veteran-owned, shaped by both my lifelong love of timber and my service in the Australian Army. I worked with construction engineers during my time in the Army, which pushed my passion for building and creating even further. After being medically discharged due to injuries, I tried just about every hobby known to man—but woodworking was the one that always stuck like glue.
