             Collection of Furniture designed and made by Ned Trewartha.

'Salvaged'
(below)


Salvaged is recycled from an old 40odd foot motor cruiser.
This piece was built for the annual  'Benchmarking Birches Bay' exhibition.
The artist statement was as follows:

The timbers used in creating this bench, were once part of a strong,
 proud hull of a 40 odd foot motor cruiser.
After long years of service, she was destined for restoration/rebuild.
She sat for years, awaiting her reward for work well done. Until one afternoon, one person
decided she was in the way, and took to her with a chainsaw and a match.
I managed to salvage a few hull sections before they reached the fire.
In this wasteful society, some think that once something reaches the end of its working life,
the only place to go is landfill, or fuel for the fire. I disagree - life goes on.
