Sarah Davidson
Owner of Australian Woodwork
Sarah Davidson started Australian Woodwork 16 years ago with her partner Greg White, starting with a small stall in the Rocks Markets in Sydney, to showcase Australia's fine woodcraft they had discovered travelling around Australia. Australia has an extremely talented and active community of woodworkers and artisans, from the East Coast to the West Coast and everywhere in between. So Australian Woodwork was born to act as a centrepiece and commercial outlet for this country's talents.
