Small Waddie - Ancestors

This incredible waddie has been hand-crafted by Braydon Williams using sustainably sourced native Tasmanian timbers. Each one has been shaped, dried, and sealed ready for display. Native Tasmanian beeswax has been used to seal the cracks and holes within the timber making each piece unique.

Given the nature and use of this tool, we ask that the purchaser stores this item in a safe location away from children such as a glass cabinet or something similar as part of a collection.
