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.

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.
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 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.
The 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 learned on the job, ideas I wanted to test, and the standard of workmanship I hold everything to. If something's sitting in 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 — 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 — the reviews on the home page show it, straight from the people I've built for.
Resin Craftsmanship
Choosing the Right Resin for Every Piece
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.
