Tod was a woodcarver executing a range of secular and sacred commissions from his workshops in Sydney's Surry Hills, Annandale and Kingford. He undertook work for many Anglican churches designing and carving furniture, altars and honour rolls for churches in Bega, Marrickville, Tumut, Roseville and many others. A partial record of his work was published in 1958 and his archives are held by the Powerhouse Museum.
