Good in Wood specialises in beautiful and practical homewares handcrafted from Australian native hardwoods by Sydney artisan woodworker Chris Falvey. Each piece is carefully designed and crafted to celebrate the natural beauty, texture, and colour of Australian timbers, resulting in homewares that are both functional and visually striking.

Chris handcrafts an array of products, including feast boards, fancy food boards, bowls, and distinctive burls, using native Australian timbers such as West Australian Jarrah, Queensland Silky Oak, Blue Gum, as well as rarer species including Silver Ash, Black Bean, Blackwood, Australian Cedar, Tasmanian Myrtle, Huon Pine, and Blackheart Sassafras. Each timber is thoughtfully selected and combined to highlight natural contrasts and grain patterns, producing one-of-a-kind designs that are hand-finished with organic orange oil for a rich, sustainable finish.

The collection includes fancy boards named Jupiter, Speckled Hen, Magpie Goose, Diamantina, Coorong, Triptych, and Quattro, each accompanied by a story card detailing the provenance and timbers. Chris’ handcrafted bowls, including striking Coolabah and Mallee burls, are individually signed by the maker, ensuring every piece is truly unique.
