In my last week of Sturt I prototyped some lighting. It led to this simple little router jig to achieve a slanted through cut.

Thank you @studio_chrysanthe for filming 🙏

Noble Table by Rhodri

Photography by @ashley_mackevicius

Now for Sale. Solid timber steam bent underframe in Tasmanian Blackwood (First Image) and American Red Oak (Third Image). Each table is almost one metre in diameter and can very comfortably seat four and are shown with my Button stools.

A big thank you to my previous tutor @darrenoatesfinefurniture whose teachings and assistance were critical for these pieces. Also a huge thank you to my fellow students who braved the cold weather to assist in bending! @sturtschoolforwood_students @rileyhearny @joeywoodworks

Dyad Table by Rhodri

This dining table was designed and manufactured under the guidance of @andrewcarvolth and @jongoulder at the Sturt School school for Wood during the Open Brief of the course.

This is a 2.4m long, 8 seating dining table made from American Red Oak. This table features an incredibly sturdy frame with large shaped legs which connect via the two prominent rails elevated from the ground.

Rhodri Mini Hanging Shelves

Simple small shelving with hanging keyholes recessed into the back for a snug fit against the wall.
Great use for short lengths and offcuts and to use up a variety of timbers.

Part of my Batch Production Experience with the mighty @darrenoatesfinefurniture who has also been helping me continue to improve my bending and jig making skills!

Button Short Stools by Rhodri.

Under the guidance of @rossannels in his challenging Bend and Break weeks at the @sturtschoolforwood_students @sturtgalleryandstudios 2025

Ive learnt so much about timber making these simple stools. I still have a very long way to go in my learning however and hope to produce more bent products in the future. I hope from this point however I have more luck at bending than breaking!

My Butter Bedsides. Refined.

Made in American Red Oak and Tasmanian Blackwood. Featuring hand cut dovetail drawers and one marquetry drawer front. Many of these new skills obtained under the guidance of @peter_young_design 🙏

Refining the design and manufacturing process of my butter bedsides was incredibly important to me. In the past, I've often struggled to fully develop my projects, frequently feeling that my work remained unfinished and underdeveloped. At Sturt I'm beginning to understand how to advance my designs, allowing them to evolve and mature more effectively.

Butter Bedsides in Blackwood by Rhodri
Designed and crafted in Mittagong at the Sturt School for Wood

This is the first version of this design which includes a push to open drawer. I am very keen to continue to develop and improve from this product.
