This old old piece of walrus ivory has stunning colour from being buried for a very long time! The mineralisation adds an element not found in many carving materials. This manaia koru form reflects spiritual guardianship, growth and connection! I don’t have anymore of this material so this is the end of an era! Dm me with any questions!

Still enjoying the synthetic stone vibe of this material. This was one of the designs that developed on a windy day where the power was out. Elements of support and spiritual growth within the asymmetry that the circle form within the design creates! DM with any questions and she'll be up on the website shortly!

During a power outage I sat and sketched a few designs... Surrounded by high winds and chaos 3 designs flowed out. I have started carving them and I can't wait to see how they end up coming out!

As we go through a wicked flat spell with no surf I carved this design as an homage to the energy that we draw from being on, near or in the ocean. Drawing strength, renewal and calm from water is something that I have fallen back on when life gets hectic!! Made from a red deer coronet this piece has really nice patterning and colour! Flick me a line with any questions!

A tweaked traditional Matau or fish hook design from synthetic stone! This classic design looks good in a range of materials and this latest addition to the range adds something new. It has been great to explore how this material holds form, sands and works under the tools! DM me with any questions and this one will be up on the website shortly!

A larger circle of life design from the synthetic stone! I wanted to see how the material was to carve with a more layered approach. I’m stoked with how it feels and
looks! This design blends negative space koru forms within the shape and I wanted a wave like pattern to add depth! She's been added to the website!

Something very different! Synthetic stone that mirrors marble! A very cool material to carve and i can’t wait to explore the range of colours it comes in! This matau or fish hook design has a great feel to it and some awesome patterning!

I haven’t done to many of the smaller forms as my aging hands don’t like the holding the smaller pieces! This wee double koru was sitting for a while before I dove in and got it sanded out… I like the flow on this connection and relationship design.
