Made of elm, this coffee table table is the ultimate in grace and style. The soft round edges are also child friendly - no sharp corners for little ones to bump or fall against!

Slabbing Redwood 02/18/2010

Imagine how many people you could seat around a table made from this giant redwood slab! Hospitality double plus! The Lucas Mill is peeling these slabs off our giant redwood logs. These are all spoken for, but if you have an interest in slabs, give us a call. We may be able to be of assistance!

Eight days old
Caleb Oliver arrived in early 2010. A solid little man at 10lbs 1, he seems built to operate power tools. We are very proud of his big tradesman hands! Welcome Caleb! Grow up quick. Daddy has a shed to build!

We've just received a huge shipment of Redwood logs - some with a diametre of seven feet! The possibilities are endless. These Sequoiadendron giganteum or Giant Redwoods are often used in outdoor construction in California (decking, stairs, outdoor furniture) because they weather well. We've made some into a play pen for Natalie which is a great application as the timber is so light the play pen can easily be transported. What could you do with it? We're taking orders now and cutting logs to your specifications!
 
 
Storage space is at a premium at PD Woodcraft. We have a lot of timber in stock and we have a big need for bigger premises. So we're discounting our packs of timber - having a great big timber sale to help to raise funds to finance a big factory for PD Woodcraft.

Download our flyer to check out the great discounts we have on our packs of timber until 31 March 2010.

We have a new service! We have quite a comprehensive metalworking workshop and might be able to be of assistance to you on a number of projects. Newly added to our "Services" page is information about our ability to machine custom tooling. Recent turns include steel parts for engines, bores, pulleys, nylon runners, aluminium shafts and more.
 
Curved counter 11/10/2009
 
For some applications our customers prefer curved craftwood to bendyply. Pete assembles a curved template to a given radius, glues a number of sheets of craftwood together and puts them in the template. When the glue is dry the craftwood comes out of the template having been bent  into a beautiful curve. Here are two curves joined together to make a 180 degree semicircle for the front of a counter.

Improvements 10/06/2009

Automation for the dust extraction system
We have made two excellent improvements here at PD Woodcraft. First we upgraded our dust extraction to a bigger, more efficient system...then we automated it! One touch of a button and all systems are go! Second, we installed two tracks for our Lucas Mill to run along. These help the mill to run smoothly and squarely and are an excellent complement to our automatic push/pull mechanism. Now the mill runs back and forth from the push of a lever rather than the muscle force of an operator.
