About Us

At Wax N Wood are located in Westport on the West Coast of New Zealand’s South Island, where you’ll find craftsmanship shaped by experience and a love for honest, hands-on work.

Trevor brings over 50 years in the building trade, along with early years spent in a joinery workshop and also learning from a master carver in Kawerau. These days, he works out of a specialised workshop in Westport, creating one-of-a-kind timber pieces using reclaimed and recycled native wood — every item crafted with care, character, and a craftsman’s eye for lasting quality.

Caz complements the West Coast woodwork with her own creative touch. A retired dairy farming teacher with a knack for natural finishes, she handcrafts wax-based products – including our Wood Butter and a variety of fragrant wax candles.

Together, we offer handmade timber and wax creations that blend tradition with creativity. Whether you’re after something useful, beautiful, or both — thanks for stopping by.
