About Us

Aubs and Sull is a small family business based in the Hunter Valley, creating handcrafted timber art and personalised memorials designed to preserve the people, pets and moments that matter most.

My wife and I were both born and raised in Maitland, and our work is shaped by a strong connection to family, community and the stories held within a favourite photograph. The idea for Aubs and Sull grew through the caring work of people close to us, including my sister’s experience as a senior veterinary nurse with the RSPCA and my wife’s vocation as a local midwife. Those roles share an understanding of how deeply families love, remember and celebrate the lives entrusted to their care.

That understanding sits at the heart of our memorial collections. A customer’s photograph is carefully prepared and transformed into a detailed three-dimensional timber portrait. Each piece is then individually carved, assembled where required, sanded and finished in our Hunter Valley workshop. There is no mass production and no two pieces are ever exactly alike.

Our personalised pet urns combine a custom-carved portrait with a discreet internal chamber, creating a memorial that can be displayed naturally in the home. Our Portrait Collection preserves pets, people, vehicles, homes and meaningful places as handcrafted timber artwork. We also create personalised mirrors, signs and flexible name tags for gifts, events and everyday use.

We work with Australian Red Cedar, Camphor Laurel and Tasmanian Oak across our memorial ranges. The natural colour, grain and markings of each piece of timber become part of the finished design, giving every order its own character.

Aubs and Sull exists to create pieces that feel personal, lasting and worthy of the memories behind them. From our family in the Hunter Valley to yours, thank you for trusting us with the photographs and stories that mean so much.
