Blair spent many years living in Taupo and has recently moved to Hastings. His focus is upcycling fabulous native timber, found in the environment around him. He is inspired by his love of figures, faces and a lifetime of training people in communication.

Wood has allowed him to explore different avenues of creativity, swapping his paint brush for chainsaws, chisels and sanders. He gets great enjoyment bringing new life to aged wood, from fence posts to floorboards.

“Each piece a slice of history, a creation of today, and a treasure for the future”.
