Quality, Materials & Delivery

What types of timber are used?
A range of high-quality timbers is used depending on the project, selected for durability, grain, and visual impact.

Are your pieces sealed and protected?
Yes. All pieces are finished with durable, high-quality coatings to protect the timber and enhance its natural features.

Do you use reclaimed timber?
Reclaimed timber can be used depending on availability, offering a more sustainable option with added character.

Do you deliver across Melbourne and Australia?
Yes. Delivery can be arranged across Melbourne and Australia depending on the size and requirements of the piece.

Timing & Expectations

How long does a custom piece take to make?
Timeframes vary by project. Most builds take several weeks.

Resin table projects typically take 6–8 weeks after slab selection due to curing and finishing processes.

Is every piece unique?
Yes. Natural variations in timber ensure every piece is unique.

The exception is CNC-based work, where designs can be reproduced with precision if required.
