First Nations artist Denzel Coyne openly admits that when he started crafting traditional Indigenous objects, his very first attempts were "crap".

But it wasn't long before the proud Noongar man was producing high-quality Indigenous instruments and artwork.

"It just started as a hobby because it was something that I took from rehab that helped me in my recovery," he said.

"The first boomerang I made wasn't really any good – it was crap.

"The wings weren't the same length, so I thought this is harder than I realised."

The 34-year-old was determined to learn the ancient art of designing traditional First Nations items, so he spent months researching various techniques.

He also spoke to Traditional Owners, family and friends to understand the centuries-old craft.

"I go out in country, and I ask the ancestors for permission as a sign of respect and take what I need by selecting pieces of wood.

"I see the artefact in the wood, and I create what I can envision.

"We started making hitting sticks, which have many different names across the nation."

Despite only being relatively new to the craft, Mr Coyne's work is already in high demand.

He's already had his artwork commissioned by the Wungening Aboriginal Corporation and the Derbarl Yerrigan Health Services.

The Albany-based artist then decided to start selling his art under the name of Boorn Wirn (tree spirit) on Facebook.

"It started with a hobby and the reaction has been uplifting," he said.

"It's very humbling and gives me a sense of purpose.

"And finding this has helped me find my identity, a sense of belonging."

Mr Coyne, who has a strong connection to the Menang/Goreng/Boodjah people of the Great Southern of Western Australia, said he wanted to inspire other young First Nations people.

Especially after finding out that not many Indigenous artists were creating the artefacts he was producing.

"I want to bring this back because hardly anyone does it," he said.

"I want to inspire others because when I was growing up, I wanted to be something I wasn't.

"I was lost, and I didn't know who I was or want I wanted to be"

Given the early success of the business, Mr Coyne is looking at expanding into other areas.

"I want to learn all sorts of things, not just stay in the artefacts area," he said.

"I want to move on to bush tuckers, bush medicines and I'd love for my partner to get into more of the woman's side of things.

"There are so many reasons for me to continue doing this".
