ABOUT WOOD AND MUSIC
Tom King - Works in wood and handmade guitars
Tom is a guitar maker/repairer/teacher based in Melbourne. He made his start at Cole Clark Guitars, where he developed an appreciation for the great range of sustainable native tonewoods Australia has to offer.
He then moved to the Netherlands to complete an apprenticeship under Frank De Haan, eventually becoming an instructor at De Haan Guitars’ School of Guitar Making. This lead to roles as a maker at Stoney Creek Guitars and as a technician at Homestead Guitars.
These days when he’s not working on commissions out of his Chadstone workshop, you can find him teaching guitar making and furniture making at The Shed, Melbourne.
Roger Terrill - Works in wood and handmade drums
Roger commenced an apprenticeship in Fine Furniture in Pascoe Vale in 1994. Since then, he has worked in a number of different fields including cabinetmaking and aged care. In 2002 he created Terrill Percussion building African drums and performing and teaching African percussion.
In 2001 he met Mat Duniam, a kit drummer, and between the two of them developed what today is Red Rock Drums (Aust). In addition to solid timber drum kits, Roger also builds bespoke furniture items and can’t resist a challenge!
This exhibition is a dive into the soul of the woodworker and his various creations that emanate from his property in Rokeby, Gippsland.
