All of our banksia products are hand made by a family run business in Brisbane Australia which was established in 1985. They use a particular type of Banksia called ‘Grandis’. Is it also commonly known as Bull Banksia or Giant Banksia. This variety grows particularly large and has a very dense center making it ideal for woodworking.
Each pod is cut into sections and put on a wood turning lathe. A chisel is then used to shave away the outside of the seed pod revealing its unique pattern. On every product you’ll find a combination of rough edge (the outside of the seed pod), holes where the seeds once were and a red velvety fur. Every single item has its own unique qualities and you will never find two the same! The products are hand sanded with up to three grades of paper, then polished with shellac and their unique vegetable based oil finish to enhance the natural colour.
This family run business is highly regulated by the Western Australian Forestry and they have certain areas that they may collect the pods from. These areas are constantly changing to ensure no one area is ever depleted. They pay a royalty to the Western Australian Forestry per seed pod, which goes to aid in regeneration work. They are extremely respectful of their bushland and take only what they can use. The seed pods they collect have expelled their seeds and have completed the lifecycle of the plant.
These artisans go in on foot so they don’t disturb any other plants or wildlife and no noisy machinery is used in this process. They also support other Western Australian harvesters in their endeavour to regenerate other sites by harvesting some of the seeds from the pods. They strongly believe it is their responsibility to ensure that the landscape is undisturbed and that the Banksia trees continue to thrive in the Australian Bush.
