Leon Sadubin
'For over 30 years, I have been interested in using Australia’s diverse range of timbers. My designs range from furniture to sculpture. My full-time woodworking career started in 1977, at the Thornleigh Workshop, Pennant Hills Road. I worked with a small team making commissions, one-off designs, limited production runs and domestic furniture. At present I work near Berry on the NSW South Coast.'
