Timbers

We select only the most beautiful, character filled reclaimed timbers that offer exceptional durability, look and feel, while telling the rich and interesting stories of their past.  Two of our current limited edition timbers include:

Telegraph Pole Ironbark

Reclaimed from outback Queensland Telegraph Poles that formed Australia’s first regional telecommunications system, the Ironbark offers magnificent tones of deep red, rich brown and burnt caramel with distinctive past life markings.  A spectacular timber, the Ironbark creates a compelling, signature table with its own special Australian story.

Otway Ranges Stringybark

Reclaimed from dairy farms and grazing properties throughout Victoria’s rugged Otway Ranges, the Stringybark is an iconic Australian hardwood offering contemporary tones of dark straw and warm brown with striking feature highlights in chocolate and charcoal black to create pieces rich in character, provenance and unique Australian beauty.
