The CNC Process at OutTa Timber
Every piece that comes out of the workshop starts with the same question: can the machine actually do this? Most of the time, the answer is yes — even when it shouldn't be.

My Process for One-Off Custom Work
From First Enquiry to Your Finished Piece
Get in Touch — Contact me by phone, email, or through my online enquiry form to tell me about your project.
Free Consultation — I'll discuss your ideas, space, style preferences, and project requirements to understand your vision.
Receive Your Quote — You'll receive a detailed quote outlining your chosen design, materials, and pricing for approval. "Because every slab moves differently and no two resin pours behave the same, pricing is tailored to the piece in front of me — timber, size, and complexity all factor in. You'll get a clear, itemised quote before anything starts."
Source Premium Timber — Once approved, I'll carefully source premium Australian hardwood slabs selected for their beauty, character, and suitability for your piece.
Confirm the Design — I'll finalise the layout, dimensions, resin details, finishes, and base design before construction begins.
I Build & Deliver — Your furniture is handcrafted in my Melbourne workshop using premium materials and precision craftsmanship, then delivered and installed, ready to enjoy. "Timber is a natural material and resin curing takes the time it takes — so timelines vary piece to piece. I'll give you a realistic timeframe once your design's locked in, and keep you posted if anything shifts along the way."
Handcrafted in Melbourne
Built Locally. Finished With Precision.
Every OutTa Timber piece is made in my Melbourne workshop. Nothing is outsourced. Each stage is done by hand:
Timber selection
Slab preparation and stabilisation
Resin design and colour planning
Pouring and curing
CNC shaping and detailing
Hand sanding and finishing
Final assembly and quality check
This is craftsmanship, not manufacturing.
Quality
Built to Outlast Trends
I don't build for seasons — I build for decades. Every piece is made using:
Solid Australian hardwood
Commercial-grade epoxy resin
Structural-grade joinery
Premium steel bases and hardware
Multi-stage protective finishes
Hand-finished detailing
The result is furniture that is as durable as it is visually striking.
Backed by a Guarantee
Every piece is backed by a workmanship guarantee. If something's genuinely a manufacturing fault — not wear, not how it's been used — I'll repair or replace it at no cost. Transit damage needs to be flagged within 12 days, overstock returns within 21 days, and new custom builds are covered for 31 days from delivery.
Delivery, Sorted
Free pickup from the Melbourne workshop, and free delivery across Melbourne metro and a bit beyond. Further out, freight is calculated by size and distance — some pieces also have fixed rates to major Australian cities via a local depot.
OutTa Timber — About
Where it started
I taught myself CNC machining the hard way — starting on an old machine that was programmed in DOS, punching in X, Y and Z coordinates by hand, line by line. There was no CAD software translating a design into a toolpath for me. If I wanted the machine to cut a curve, I had to work out the coordinates myself. That grounding means I understand what the machine is actually doing at every step, not just what a software package tells it to do — which matters when a job pushes outside normal limits.
Some of my career has been in structural work. I was part of the team on one of the largest buildings of its kind, responsible for making sure every connection was finished correctly and structurally sound. The bulk of the jobs I've worked have been structural connections and structural parts of buildings — from the main frames of schools to the roof lines of all kinds of different structures. That's where the discipline behind OutTa Timber comes from: nothing leaves the workshop unless it's structurally right, not just visually right.
Cutting the shape is only half the job — how it's joined matters just as much. I've run my own joinery testing on real builds: different combinations of glue, screws, nails and clamps — glue alone, glue with screws, glue with nails, clamps with no fasteners, clamps then screws, clamps then nails — cured for 48 hours, then broken apart to see exactly how and where each one failed. That's not theory — it's testing done on jobs that had to perform, including work on one of the largest timber structures in the Southern Hemisphere, where I built components before heading up to Penrith to help construct it.
This work has ranged from single custom pieces up to million-dollar builds, including:
Community hubs and university zone projects
Large-scale builds involving millions of components
Components for one of the largest timber structures in the Southern Hemisphere
Over 100 custom façade fins for a single architectural exterior
Award-winning dome constructions
Structural connections and structural parts of buildings, including main frames for schools and roof lines across different builds
What I do now
CNC cutting, engraving and machining across timber, plywood and MDF — from precision architectural components to decorative cutouts, wall art, signage and custom one-off shapes. Since then I've moved into full CAD/CAM design and programming, but that early DOS experience is still why I can take on jobs other CNC operators won't — pieces that experienced operators have told me are ahead of what the equipment is meant to handle.
My current work runs to custom designs and modifying stock items for odd, non-standard jobs, replicating heritage timber details true to the original, and advanced CNC work — staircases, intricate fretwork, and precision replica parts. Whether it's a single feature piece or components for a larger structure, the process is the same: accurate to the piece, not just close enough.
OutTa Timber
This is where it all comes together — CNC precision and structural know-how, applied to timber, resin and custom builds, under the OutTa Timber name.
My overstock isn't just ready-made pieces waiting to go out the door — it's a record of the work. Every piece in it reflects lessons I've learned on the job, ideas I wanted to test, and the standard of workmanship I hold everything to. If something's sitting in OutTa Timber's overstock, it's there because it's built right, not because it didn't sell. Take one home and you're getting a finished idea, not a leftover.
Alongside that, I take on fully custom builds through OutTa Timber — matched to your space, your brief, your timeline.
Wall arches and custom art wall decor are a big part of what I make: ply constructions, templating, and structural joint cutting, built with the same accuracy and joinery discipline that runs through every job here — right down to the fasteners.
The gallery shows some of that in practice — jigs, lids and cupboard door blanks cut to ±1mm, the kind of precision that only comes from years on structural jobs where "close enough" wasn't good enough.
Don't just take my word for the standard at OutTa Timber — the reviews on the home page show it, straight from the people I've built for.
Handcrafted in Melbourne
A Melbourne Artisan, Start to Finish
OutTa Timber is based in Bayswater, on Melbourne's eastern edge, and it's a one-person workshop — every piece that leaves here has passed through the same hands from first sketch to final polish. That means the CNC programming, the joinery, the resin pour, and the finishing are never handed off between different people or outsourced overseas; it's one continuous process, shaped by over a decade of CNC and structural building experience before it ever became furniture. For customers, that translates to pieces that are genuinely one-off — natural materials, built to last, and finished the way a single craftsman wants his name on them.
How Pricing Works
Every piece is quoted individually, but the price is shaped by a few key factors:
Resin technique — A resin-filled inlay (resin set into carved channels/details) uses far less resin and cure time than a full deep-pour river table, making it one of the more affordable ways to get genuine resin detail. A full deep-pour river slab, by comparison, is a much larger job in material and time.
Resin isn't just "poured and done" — by the time you account for waste, cutting back overpours, levelling, and sanding back to a clean surface, the resin that actually ends up in the finished piece costs a lot more than the price per litre suggests.
Slab size & timber character — Larger slabs, and pieces with standout grain, figuring, or rare species, cost more to source and prepare.
Design complexity — Custom CNC detailing, intricate inlays, or bespoke bases take more time on the machine and in finishing than a simpler design.
Finish level — Multi-stage protective finishes and hand-detailing add time compared to a standard top coat.
Base & hardware — Steel bases and structural joinery are priced differently to timber-only bases.
As a rough guide: resin-filled inlay pieces sit at the more affordable end, while full deep-pour river tables and large statement pieces sit at the premium end. Every quote is confirmed individually once your design, size, and finish are locked in.
Resin Craftsmanship
Choosing the Right Resin for Every Piece
As a Melbourne-based artisan working in both timber and resin, I build a full range of bespoke furniture that combines the two — from resin river tables and resin-inlay coffee tables through to live-edge furniture with resin detailing and standalone resin art pieces. Whatever the piece, the resin choice is matched to the job.
Not all resin is the same — and using the right product for the right job is the difference between a piece that lasts decades and one that yellows, clouds, or cracks within a few years.
At Outta Timber, I work with a range of trusted resin brands, each chosen for a specific job:
Deep-pour casting — for the large, crystal-clear pours used in river tables and statement pieces, I use U Resin and Health of Mind, chosen for clarity and the ability to cure evenly through thick sections without cracking or overheating.
For our Art resin work, we use Delchem and Artko.
Top coats — for the glass-like surface finish that shows off the timber grain underneath, I use Luciclear and Stone Coat, giving that deep, glossy "wet look" and a durable, scratch-resistant surface.
UV resin — for fine detail work, small inlays, and pieces needing a fast, precise cure, I use Total Boat UV Resin and Art Tree UV Resin.
Speciality effects — for coloured pours, pigmented details, and standout finishes, I use Dalchem Crystal Clear, Total Cast, and U Resin.
Every brand is commercial-grade and paired with proper timber preparation — slab stabilisation, sealing, and controlled pour temperatures — so the finished piece holds its clarity and strength for years, not just on delivery day.
See it for yourself. Curious how resin actually holds up over time? You're welcome to visit Art Tree Creations to see resin samples now over six years old — real proof of how these materials age, not just a sales pitch.
Bolding the brand names makes it clearer at a glance that these are specific products you've chosen to work with, not resin "types" a customer would need to research separately.
