This Turtle Fish is made entirely from reclaimed Western Red Cedar which was salvaged from 90mm x 6mm venetian blinds removed from a house in Newcastle. The size and thickness of the timber is ideal for forming the hull and deck of the board. The rails are made from Paulownia with fins made from salvaged Huon Pine.

This board was created in collaboration with first Nations Artist, Andy Snelgar as a part of the Ocean Dreaming Collection.

“This turtle is a wanderer or the ocean and represents our Aboriginal life of a journey, from birth to death and beyond there are many journeys to make and we can learn from them all.” Andy Snelgar
