  "My work focuses on developing sculptural forms from natural materials that traverse along a wave face.  I work with a timber called ‘Paulownia’ due to its strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to saltwater. For functional purposes, I intermittently use endemic Tasmanian timbers, mostly Huon Pine and King Billy Pine to protect the nose of the surfboard. These timbers are resistant to water penetration, rot and are durable and workable. I use resin sourced from the ancient endemic Xanthorrhoea which seals the board forlongevity whilst giving the timber a rich ochre colour. " Issac Blyth
