Discover the unique artistry behind Kell Williams’ handcrafted clap sticks, now available at Cape York Art. Each pair is meticulously carved from Rainforest Burdekin Plum timber, showcasing a stunning gradation of colour from deep, earthy tones to lighter hues, accented by a distinctive green tinge that runs throughout the wood. This rare timber, native to Far North Queensland, gives the clap sticks a remarkable visual and tactile quality, perfect for both display and use in cultural performance.

Kell Williams was born and raised in Gimuy (Cairns) with connections to the Ugar and Guugu Yimithirr First Nations peoples. His works are renowned for their intricate carvings, often depicting traditional Aboriginal figures, native animals, and replicas of pearling luggers, reflecting a deep respect for heritage and environment. These clap sticks embody both artistic skill and cultural significance, making them a meaningful addition to any collection while supporting Indigenous craftsmanship from the heart of Far North Queensland.
