It might look like Paul is just checking a bit of timber…

But before it goes through the thicknesser, there’s a little more to it.

Thickness ✔️
Straightness ✔️
Grain ✔️
And a quick check that the timber is actually going to behave itself. 😉

Because good craftsmanship isn’t just about what happens at the end — it’s in the little checks along the way.

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY

Here’s to the people who take on the role of Dad.

The ones who teach us stuff, fix things, give advice (whether we asked for it or not 😉), make memories and always seem to be there when we need them.

For Paul, there’s a little bit of that story in the workshop.

His grandfather’s old drill press is still earning its keep — and these days, Paul often finds himself working alongside our children and friends, sharing the skills and knowledge that were once passed down to him.

Because some of the best things we pass on aren't things at all.

Happy Father’s Day from Stim Craftsmanship. ❤️

There’s no shortcut for this bit.

Sanding, refining and getting those little details just right — it’s all part of making a Stim piece.

Made by hand. Made to be used. 🌿

AND THAT’S A WRAP ON ANOTHER WEEK AT STIM 🪵

It’s been another busy one around the workshop!

📦 Fresh stock heading to Taupō
We’ve dispatched fresh stock to the fantastic team at Chef’s Complements, Taupō.

🔨 Work in progress…
Continuing from last week, Paul is wrapping up the custom project he started for a repeat local business, while fitting in other jobs and workshop tasks whenever a window of opportunity appears.

We still can’t show you too much… but it’s getting there!
The client gets to see the finished work first. 😉

🌬️ Typical spring weather!
The workshop has been humming along, despite the wind doing its best to cause a little havoc.

🌱 Spring event planning has hit overdrive!
Our first event, Wonder Grow – Spring Market, is now just ONE WEEK AWAY! 😳

🎁 Still need something for Dad?
There are last-minute Father’s Day purchases available through our stockists, or if you’re local, directly from us **by arrangement**.

Every pile has a purpose… apparently. 😂

Just another day in Paul’s workshop — sorting, cutting and turning random bits of timber into something useful.

There’s a method in the madness. 🌿

THE STIM STORY 🌿

There’s a little more to Stim than making things from timber.

We work with reclaimed and recycled timbers, including retired w**e barrels and local materials that still have plenty of life left in them.

From selecting the timber to shaping, sanding and finishing, every piece is made here in our Hawke’s Bay workshop — by hand, with plenty of sawdust along the way.

We make pieces designed to be used, enjoyed and kept.
Not mass-produced. Not perfectly identical. And definitely not made to be disposable.

Every piece has a story. We hope it finds a place in yours.

LEFT FATHER’S DAY SHOPPING UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE? 👀
Don’t panic — we’ve got your back.

We’ve pulled together some of our ready-to-go Stim pieces that might just solve the “what am I getting Dad?” problem. 😎
Handcrafted from reclaimed timber, made right here in Hawke’s Bay and built to be used.

From the BBQ Dad to the Dad who has everything — there’s a good chance we’ve got something he’ll actually like.

Father’s Day — Sunday 6 September.

END OF THE WEEK WRAP-UP 🌿

It’s been another busy one at Stim.

Paul has been focused on finishing a custom project for a repeat local business customer — always a good feeling when they come back for more. 🙌

He’s also been putting the finishing touches on our first batch of pedestal trees, getting them ready for the festive season. 🎄

And because there’s apparently no such thing as an empty workbench around here… another batch of Stave Platters is now underway. 🍷🪵

Meanwhile, Sharron has been steadily making things happen behind the scenes — planning upcoming events, restocking our local stockists and finalising the Stim Christmas range for 2026.

And if you’ve left your Father’s Day shopping until the last minute… we’ve got your back. 👀

Shop online or head in and visit one of our amazing stockists for handcrafted gifts made right here in Hawke’s Bay.
