Tasmanian Craft
Tasmanian Craft has an extensive selection of handmade or Tasmanian designed products listed, many pieces you won't find elsewhere. Our main focus is supporting local artisans utilising our stunning Tasmanian timbers including the unique salvaged huon pine & striking blackheart sassafras.
Our wonderful range of Tasmanian or Australian made pure wool socks, scarves, beanies & accessories are just perfect for the colder days.
We also stock a hugely popular range of products designed in Tasmania but manufactured elsewhere for instance the so so warm possum socks & gloves are made in New Zealand (where possums are considered vermin) for a third generation Tasmanian company that I personally have been dealing with for nearly 20 years!
Tasmanian Craft is now online only (our retail outlet Makers on Church St, Geeveston has closed) located in the picturesque Huon Valley, approximately 45 minutes south of Hobart.
Thank you to those that prefer to shop small & free gift wrapping is available on request.

Huon Pine
Huon pine or Lagarostrobos franklinii is Australia’s oldest living tree, extremely slow growing with a fine grain and close-spaced growth rings unique to Tasmania.
Highly prized by wood craftsmen due to its ease of use Huon pine is initially a pale straw colour but mellows to a really deep golden lustre over time with a strong aromatic perfume. Woodworkers love it especially when they find a highly figured or speckled piece known as Bird's eye. Traditionally and to this day still used in wooden boat building due to its natural oils that resist rotting.
There are accessible sites to see Huon pines growing either on the West Coast or the Tahune Forest Reserve near Geeveston. Most Huon pine now used is salvaged from an area near Strahan on the West Coast of Tasmania.
