Welcome to the online space of our HEARTWOOD Micro-Exhibition, featuring women in woodwork.
 
This Mudgeeraba Blackwood stool started life as scrap — the kind of timber most makers wouldn’t give a second glance. Too small, too awkward, destined for the bin. But watching gorgeous blackwood get tossed for something as silly as size never sat right with me. So I gave it a second act instead. What was once “too small to bother with” is now something you can actually sit on — proof that good wood (like good ideas) doesn’t care where it started, only where it ends up.

Sara Smith, the daughter of a Master Carpenter, pursued her passion and relocated to Melbourne in her early 20’s where she completed a Diploma of Furniture Design followed by a Certificate III in Cabinet Making. Influenced by the sleek, clean lines of early 20th Century design, Sara lists Eileen Gray, Frank Lloyd Wright and Le Corbusier of the Modernist Movement as her main sources of inspiration for her work at Smith & Rae Design. 
 
All exhibition pieces purchased will be posted out on Monday 17th August.
