Our Story
Founded in 2024
My name is Huw Ramsey, and I am the founder of Splintered Seconds, a woodworking business based in southern Tasmania. Established in 2024, Splintered Seconds was created out of a passion for woodworking and a deep appreciation for the unique timbers found in our region. The name "Splintered Seconds" reflects the origins of the business. I began by sourcing second-hand and reclaimed timber, giving new life to materials that might otherwise have been discarded. This approach not only honours the natural beauty and character of Tasmanian wood, but also supports sustainable practices within the craft. In 2024, at the age of 16, I decided to share my passion by founding Splintered Seconds. Each item is thoughtfully designed and carefully handcrafted, with a focus on quality, sustainability, and the unique story behind every piece of timber.
Our Philosophy
We believe in sustainable, ethical sourcing of materials, working with local suppliers who share our commitment to Tasmania's forests. Each piece we create is designed to last generations, becoming a cherished part of your home.
