Having lived and worked near the seashore for most of my life, I have utilised driftwood for woodturning and other projects for many years.

Finding a message in a bottle this year, 2006 led to the inspiration of making a bottle shaped box with a barnacle lid, showing the two being associated in their travels around the seas.

This was also the idea behind the Current Bottle, showing the ocean currents on a half bottle.

The bottles made from native King Island timbers come from one of my hobbies of digging for old bottle and artefacts on King Island and they fit into the bottle theme of my exhibits.
