Steel for furniture frames are mostly salvaged from scrap yards and the timber from demolished buildings. An array of timbers are used such as Oregon Pine, Kiaat, Oak, African Mahogany, Teak, Imbuia, Wattle and Saligna to name a few and the virgin timber used is sourced reputable timber merchants and from sustainable plantations.
New to his range are some beautiful items for the kitchen (which you can view on his Facebook page, link below), Â from cutting boards to cake stands, solid wood rolling pins to mirrors and more!

Pls can I win it fr my amazing mom 🙂
I would love the larger cake stand (30 cm in diameter) and would love to spoil my Mom with the Herringbone Coffee Table
The cutting boards are amazing! My mom loves Imbuia so I would be super lucky to give her the 22cm cake stand. 🙂
Yus, all these things are so sick. My mom doesn’t bake, but I would definitely Bake her a cake and present it on the 30cm cake stand. A coffee table would be awesome too, with one of those square aloe pot plant box pot thingies.
I would sure love to add the mezze board and the traditional serving board for hosting my mums n my high tea party in October. The cake stand I would absolutely love. It would give my home made cakes an even more rustic feel. Pure perfection.
I’m a mom myself and would love to be spoilt with either one of the beautiful cake stands, to go with a delicious chocolate cake on mommys day, as my girls like to call it.
Not to mention those mezze boards.. wow, so nice…another way to spoil mom with some delicious eats and a bottle of red!
The lamps that were on display at the Night Market are my favourite! They’re awesome!
The succulent pot plants are great too for a desk space.
I’d love to win the 22cm cake stand for my mom this mothers day! She would absolutely love it 😀
I would love to get my Mum a Solid wood rolling pin- she makes the BEST roti’s! Any cake stand will be wonderful 🙂
I would love to win the 30cm cake stand and pair it with one of his serving boards. They sure will be the centre of attention on a mother’s day afternoon tea spread~
Solid wood rolling pin, my mum is a great baker, and excellent at making roti’s, so this would be ideal for her. She can roll away making goodie treats for us
Oh my word! I would love the mahogany cake stand because my mom and I spend a lot of time baking and don’t have one of these to display our cakes, tarts and pies on. One thing we’d love from the journeyman range is definitely one of his beautiful coffee tables. We would use to set up all of our baked goods for our friends to eat.
Love the larger cake stand and would love to spoil myself or my Mom with the salvaged wood cutting boards
I would love the larger cake stand to put a red velvet cake upon it, and a serving board would be a great addition to my mom’s kitchen collection.
Your cutting boards are AMAZING!! Would love to get one of those 🙂 And I would love to win the bigger cake stand so I can fit the BIGGEST YUMMIEST cake on it, for my mom 🙂
I would love one of his new “butcher block” boards, but the smaller of the two stands wpuld make my little mothers heart so happy.

I would love to give my mum one of his amazing chopping boards and the Mahogany stand to encourage her to bake more cakes 🙂 and to add to our new kitchen!
I would love to win the larger cake stand. It would come in handy for our once a year diwali celebration to help display mommies goodies.
This one is easy! I already knew the answer to which item I would love as I had been “stalking” The Journeyman’s Facebook page 🙂
I would love love love one of their gorgeous cutting boards. They are so lovely, and I love the “natural” look of them. (https://www.facebook.com/DeaneTheJourneyman/photos/a.421964467910990.1073741831.418528261587944/580999078674194/?type=1&theater)
And would adore the Mahogany cake stand please!
To own The Journeyman mirror would indeed be an honour. What beautiful craftmanship!
I would love to win the 30cm African Mahogany cake stand & give it pride of place in my dining area.
OH MY, your work is beautiful. My parents have been in the furniture industry for years and my Dad also used to make furniture, out of cyprus and oak until he was literally blown out of the water with the big boys. I know how proud he was of his furniture and am so lucky and proud to have a few of his pieces like a hall stand, a corner unit, just a few of them, so your work to me has a deeper meaning, its beautiful, huge thumbs up to you and I seriously wish their was more of you around as the junk they sell in the shops today is just JUNK. I would love to win the larger cake stand (30 cm in diameter) as I literally have a cake on my oregon pine dining room table everday, am a little old school (40 year old, old school gal),,,,would love to spoil Mom with those gorgeous plant box for succulents – would you believe it, my Dad made them too, he made them and they where kind of jig-jagged like that game rhumba or I forget the name (if you interested I will get the name of it or the design, sure he will share it with you), but your work is just beautiful as it is.
Thanks for the opportunity to win this stand, its gorgeous.
I love the herringbone coffee table and the larger cake stand!
I have always loved the journeyman’s beautifully crafted and unique lamps! To win either of these beautiful cake stands would be just amazing 🙂 The Journeyman has true talent!
Wow, his work is just stunning, saw quite a few items i would love in my house! Love the plant box’s, so awesome. This would be such a great gift for my mom, she loves baking. would be so special to give her something like this. The African Mahogany larger cake stand would be my choice
Love the large cake stand
Wow! I just browsed the JourneyMan’s Facebook page and I am truly overwhelmed at how a simple piece of wood can be transformed into masterpieces! I am also inspired by his artistic flair and that these pieces could become heirlooms as well. I have my eye on the serving board which will be welcome in my home. I adore entertaining friends and family and I can imagine their surprise when they see delicious canapés displayed on such a gorgeous serving board. Ooh la la! Back to these gorgeous cake stands. I adore the larger cake stand simply because my mum has this knack of baking tons of red velvet cupcakes, which she generously donates to her family and the folks at the old age home. Mum is an avid baker and her old trays need to be updated to this gorgeous cake stand which by the way, looks so chic! Mum appreciates the finer things in life and is quite creative in her own way. Gifting her with this gorgeous cake stand, made with love, will be treasured for years to come. If I am lucky enough, this cake stand will be passed on to me in due course:)
Oh wow! some really stunning work! I was recruited by my father to help him build an outside dining table ( 6 months and going strong 0.o ) so i can say that i truly understand the hard work and artistry that goes into these pieces! My mom bakes all the time so I definitely think she would like the 30cm cake stand to showcase her latest creations! One of the other pieces i would get my mom (and i think she’d love it), is the mezze serving board! absolutely stunning!
this would be so lovely to win especially for my Mom who just loves baking. This stand would show of her masterpieces to perfection.
I love the cutting boards as I love cooking and am definitely interested in these. We are a small family in Pinetown and the 22cm cake stand will definitely suffice for us. Beautiful woodwork.
I just Love those cutting boards but then all the items THE JOURNEYMAN creates are both unique & practical. Beautiful hand crafted pieces all made from used wood; stunning!
I love the cutting boards and would like to win the larger cake stand =)
Wow! Wow! Wow! What an opportunity. In my home, beside my hubby, are three generation women… My mom, myself and my three daughters aged 13, 10 and 7. We do a lot of baking! Especially cakes and cupcakes. I would love to win the larger cake stand and would love to look into getting some shelving! This way of designing and creating sounds amazing! My interest is definitely captured! Awesome, and thanks to Deanne and Durbanite for this opportunity!
My mum is a keen baker. Has loads of cake stands but this would be definitely unique for her to show off!! The chopping boards will be my other option!
I would love to spoil my mum with a hand crafted cutting board – such amazing work in such stylish simplicity! I would like to win The larger cake stand (30 cm) in diameter for my mom! #FingersCrossed 🙂
Love the plant box for succulents. And for mom the larger cake stand would be awesome! She would be thrilled!
For me the lamps are brilliant and could almost be classed as a piece of decorative engineering.
The smaller (cup)cake stand as my daughter loves baking for her mom.
