About Us

Warawood Shed is owned and run by myself, David, and my wife Francine, from our home in Sydney, Australia. All the products we sell here are designed and handcrafted by us which makes for unique, one-of-a-kind items, that aren’t available anywhere else.

My Story

I’ve always been a maker for as far back as I can remember. As a child I used to love building things and understanding how stuff works and I quickly started to develop a keen eye for detail. In my teenage years I started to experiment with making things from wood and realised that I had quite the passion for it. I then went on to graduate as a software engineer and worked in the software industry designing and building software solutions for about 15 years. I lost touch with woodworking for a while during that period, but a few years ago I found that passion again and decided to focus more on it - and Warawood Shed was born.

Our Process

Coming from a software background, I fully understand the benefits of utilising computer aided design in my woodworking. I use CAD software to design a 3D model of my project before I even set foot in the workshop. This helps me find problems within the design which I would otherwise miss and then encounter later in the project when it’s too difficult to change. Since I also make a lot of custom items for clients, I find that a 3D model helps us get on the same page design-wise, and the customer can see exactly what they will be getting at the end of the process.

Our Mission

At Warawood Shed we aim to provide you with a quality product which is beautiful and unique and that you are completely satisfied with.

We like to showcase some of Australia’s finest timbers, as well as some of the world’s more exotic woods, and we do our best to source timber from sustainable forestry practices.
