Our timber is proudly salvaged from demolished or renovated historical structures in and around Victoria, Australia. Mainly this means breathing new life into the beautiful Australian hardwoods used in housing construction through the 19th and 20th centuries, but also includes more exotic timbers salvaged from old bridges, demolished shipping wharves, regional wool sheds, and early-century industrial warehouses. By giving these incredible hardwoods a second life, we preserve a tangible piece of Australian history in every furniture piece.

Yes, and that is the beauty of it! Recycled timber features distinct character marks like old nail holes, black oxide stains from structural bolts, insect trails, and natural gum veins. We carefully fill deep structural voids to ensure a flat, hygienic surface, but we intentionally preserve and even highlight these surface markings to showcase the history of the timber and so that no two pieces are ever identical.

We primarily craft with premium native Australian hardwoods. Some of our favourites include:

Messmate / Victorian Ash: Ranging from warm creams to light browns, loved for its distinct, swirling detail and prominent gum veins. 

Blackbutt: A beautiful, neutral light-straw timber with a straight grain that suits modern, minimalist interiors. 

Spotted Gum: A striking, highly durable timber featuring rich, wavy grains and a diverse colour palette from chocolate brown to deep red-amber. 

Jarrah: An iconic West Australian timber famous for its rich, deep-red hues and incredible density.

Absolutely. Every single piece of salvaged timber we harvest goes through a rigorous conditioning process. We manually extract all old metal fasteners and deeply plane away hazardous surface residues.

Our recycled timber furniture usually works out at a similar price to quality newly harvested timbers. While the raw material is salvaged, transforming old structural beams into fine furniture is labor-intensive. It requires specialised metal detectors to locate hidden spikes, manual de-nailing, precise machining to square up twisted old beams, and careful hand-sorting to match grain patterns. You are investing in intensive artisan labor, unmatched material density, and a highly sustainable manufacturing process.

In many cases, yes. The timber we salvage was harvested from old-growth forests often more than a century ago and has spent decades naturally air-seasoning in buildings or infrastructure. This means the wood has already done all its major shrinking, shifting, and settling. It is incredibly dense, dimensionally stable, and far less prone to warping than younger, freshly harvested plantation timber.

Because the wood is completely seasoned and stable, it handles ambient climate shifts beautifully. However, like all natural wood products, it can still react to extreme environmental changes. We highly recommend keeping your indoor furniture out of prolonged, direct Australian sunlight and away from the direct blast of split-system air conditioners or heaters to prevent uneven drying.

Day-to-day care is effortless. Simply wipe the surface with a soft microfiber cloth slightly dampened with warm water. Avoid harsh chemical sprays, bleach, or abrasive pads, which can strip away the protective oil coatings. Always use coasters or placemats for hot mugs and sweating glasses to prevent water rings.
