Bruce Henzell Woodwork - Bruce Henzell, Back Plains Qld
Bruce spent his early life on the family’s mixed cropping and grazing property ‘Winston’ near Roma and after boarding school he gained experience working at home. At 24 he moved to the city to run a mechanics business in Brisbane where he and his wife had three girls. Around the western suburbs he took the opportunity to start his own tree lopping business and his real interest in wood began.
He has honed his style and is really focused on carving as it reveals the natural patterns and different colours in the wood. Part of the craft is the hunt for the perfect wood and he travels for miles to find the exact timber he wants to work with.
