Tasmania punches well above its weight in fine furniture and woodcraft. The island's exceptional native timbers, including Huon Pine, Blackwood and Myrtle, combined with a deep culture of independent making, have produced some of Australia's most respected furniture makers and craftspeople. From Hobart studios to workshops spread across the island's north and northwest, Tasmanian makers are known for the quality of their materials, the care of their construction and the distinctiveness of their work.
Huon Pine in particular carries a global reputation. Slow-grown over centuries in the island's southwest wilderness, it is prized for its tight grain, natural oils and extraordinary durability. Alongside it, Tasmanian Blackwood and Myrtle offer their own rich character, making TAS one of the most distinctive places in the world to source handmade timber furniture.
