Dark Ridge Carpentry

Builds with craftsmanship and longevity.

With a focus on high quality timber work we strive to create projects that will not only be aesthetically beautiful but endure. Our work specialises in using sustainably sourced local Tasmanian timbers in our projects as a highlight and connection to place.

“Tom and the team have built us two amazing decks that reflect craftsmanship, an eye for detail and creative flair. We were consulted and kept informed along the way and presented with options at key points of the project. We are looking forward to working with the team again.”

Under construction

  • Construction site with tools and materials on a deck overlooking a lake with trees and blue sky.

    Worksites don’t get much better than this.

  • A wooden deck under construction on a hillside overlooking a large blue lake, surrounded by trees and green bushes.

    Built from durable Spotted Gum, this evolving project features a unique cascading layout, flowing from a spacious upper deck down to a more secluded lower level that will soon home a sauna. Positioned perfectly to take in the breathtaking ocean views.

  • Construction site on a hillside overlooking a body of water with trees, scattered wooden framing, and construction tools and materials.

    It’s always exciting working on unique sites like this. Shaped by the landscape, the lower deck boards will be scribed into the natural sandstone.

  • Room with wooden built-in shelves and desk, window overlooking a yard, construction tools and ladder on the floor.

    Specialising in bespoke timber work, this project allowed for flowing joinery, from a custom workstation to a daybed and floating shelves.

  • A room under construction with a wooden ceiling, white brick and painted walls, an open window, and construction tools and materials scattered on the floor and countertop.

  • Wooden corner desk and shelf under construction in a room with white brick wall and window.

    Custom joinery built both in our workshop and customised on site to fit the space seamlessly.

  • Two construction workers are repairing or installing a brick wall inside a house. One worker is standing on a stepladder, working on the ceiling, while the other worker is supporting him from the ground. There are tools, buckets, and construction materials scattered on the floor.
