Jeff Reid

My Story

Jeff has always made sawdust and shavings. He studied to become an industrial
arts teacher but did not pursue that career as life and circumstances took him in a
different direction.

He went to Bourke in 2000 and began picture framing in the gallery owned by him
and Rhonda Parcel. Jeff moved to Newcastle and collected chairs to refurbish. His
interest expanded when Jeff and Rhonda retired to Mansfield.

He loves to design and build eclectic pieces out of recycled and reclaimed timber.
Being interested in how things are done has allowed Jeff to experiment with resin
work and steel for legs and stands.

Jeff said, "People are amazed by the quality of my work after seeing the mess that I

have in my shed. It's simple really as I have an attention to detail and a desire for
perfection".
