Ben has devoted his professional life to becoming an expert maker, fuelled by an unwavering passion for turning concepts into tangible realities. It was this fervour that led him to establish Gumnut Studios in 2018, with the mission of showcasing the true beauty and artistry behind his handcrafted pieces to the people of Australia and beyond. Throughout his career, Ben has undertaken diverse projects for both residential and commercial clients, and he takes immense pride in his creations, which lie between the realms of a cabinet maker and an artist. Each piece he crafts is a testament to his commitment to building the next generation of antiques, he believes in the timeless appeal and sustainability of wood - a material that not only exudes natural beauty but also serves as an exceptional carbon store. Ben's approach to his craft is rooted in a strong belief in restoration, breathing new life into cherised heirlooms and producing unique, one-of-a-kind pieces that captivate the imagination.
