Promontory is an open-structured bar & servery, intended as an oasis and a functional sculptural feature for a variety of living environments.
The linear form invokes visions through the scorched bushland on the hiking trails leading to and from the lighthouse at Wilsons Promontory's South East point, and references the convict labour that helped to build the lighthouse and nearby buildings.
Timbers for this piece have been sourced from the neighbouring Gippsland region, also from Tasmania as it is seemingly close, across the Bass Strait.
The granite references the great stone monoliths that speckle the landscape.
The blue leather is a taste of the deep sea hugging the coastline.
The blued steel references the overseers of the convict labourers and also the long disused telegraph poles that once carried communications between the lighthouse and the local township.
Materials:
- Gippsland Ash & Blackwood
- Tasmanian Blackwood & Celery Top Pine
- Granite, Mild Steel, Leather
- Soft-close concealed drawer runners
Dimensions:
- H1800 x W700 x D500 mm
Finish:
- Satin hardwax oil
Custom design variations, timbers, and finishes available on consultation.

Julian's love for the material and eye for design make our new shelves uniquely beautiful. It was a pleasure working with Julian from the beginning. He took the time to have detailed conversations about what we were looking for, what kind of look and function we were going for, so that he could build something that suited our space and our aesthetic. Those discussions about process, combined with the communication along the way of how the pieces were evolving, and the warmth and care he infuses into the wood he is working with, really make these pieces more than just functional. They resonate. The wood is still very much alive and it brings a vibrancy to the room. I would love to have more of his work in our home.
Bookshelf ~ March 2023
Julian was fantastic - engaging on the different options available to us and bringing his deep knowledge of not only furniture making but also usage. We ended up with a spectacular piece that we are looking forward to enjoying for decades. Highly highly recommend.
Dining Table ~ January 2023
The 'Dorset bed' Julian made for me combines a headboard made in the village I grew up in the UK with a beautiful bed made of Victorian messmate so it represents my personal journey. Julian's design is stunning combining traditional joinery with modern, timeless lines that are a calling card of Julian's work. I'm super happy with the end product and would highly recommend Glencross.
Queen Bed Frame ~ September 2022
Julian was easy to work with, his design accurately interpreted my wishes, and his workmanship is of high quality.
Side Tables ~ August 2022
Julian took a treasured heirloom and made it better than the original table. He took the time to work through what we thought we wanted, making suggestions that resulted in the finished result being more than we had hoped to achieve.

Incredible craftsmanship from Julian @ Glencross. We're thrilled with our piece. It was worth the wait.
Console ~ November 2021
Julian was fantastic to work with, he was very responsive to queries and really took the time to understand what it was we needed. He was able to help take our original brief and make it into something exceptional by bringing ideas and examples that really enhanced the finished item. His workmanship is top-notch and we are extremely happy with the finished item, it looks great!
Console Table ~ January 2021
Julian @ Glencross was an absolute pleasure to work with, bringing my wife and I into the creative process to ensure we loved the end result (which we do!) and investing a lot of care and attention along the way.
I highly recommend for any custom project and will reach out to Glencross again when we have the opportunity to place a custom piece of furniture into our home. Thanks again!
