Table design

  • Sustainably sourced

    We work exclusively with our own timber, salvaged hardwood from storm affected and already fallen trees. Our timber is locally produced by our team ensuring that inventory is 100% sustainable and unique.

  • Select your timber

    Choose a slab from our store or make an appointment for a custom size. We have hundreds of slabs available in breathtaking species like messmate, blackwood, blackbutt, spotted gum, oak, greybox, grey gum, red gum, ash and many more.

  • Select a base

    Our ever increasing variety of handmade steel bases are inlaid with matching timber that offer an exceptional finish. By using locally black smithed steel, we are afforded more freedom in design and greater strength.

  • Define your style

    Define the size, shape, edge style and fill colour. Choose a surface texture including brushed, scraped or smooth. All of our tables are hand finished with nontoxic water based coatings.

timber slabs

Slab timber

We source and salvage logs from local arborists and regional farmers, usually fallen as a result of storm damage. The logs are slabbed and left to air dry proir to kiln drying, a process that takes up to 12 months. Our timber slab species include ash, blackbutt, greybox, ironbark, messmate, red gum, silky oak, English oak, spotted gum, grey gum and stringybark.

 

Bases

Our hand made steel bases are only available when packaged with a table top. Each base is made to order and inlayed with timber to match the top.

Square Base – A modern design with a minimal feel compliments any table with clean straight lines.

Classic Base – This simple yet classic design provides traditional styling to any table.

Pedestal Base – Designed to provide more leg space in any table configuration.

Trestle Base – Designed to be equally minimal and stylish with proportional angular lines.

 

Common sizes

We can design and build tables to any size however there are common proportions that are aesthetically pleasing, round and square tables not withstanding. Common sizes are:

120x90cm – seats 4
180x90cm – seats 6/8
210x105cm – seats 8
240x120cm – seats 8/10
270x120cm – seats 10/12
300x120cm – seats 12/14

 

Edge style

Natural (live) edges are only available with salvaged slab timber though all other styles are available for both recycled and slab timber. There is no limit to what can be done with table edges though we find that natural and square edges are usually preferred.

 

Finish detail

The finish makes the piece and this is where we excel. With 30 years experience in timber finishing we pay attention to the smallest detail. All of our tables are hand finished with various surface options, including smooth, wire brushed or hand scraped. We spray finish with our nontoxic water based coatings in satin or matt for the perfect factory finish.

Authenticity

Each piece is accompanied by a signed certificate of authenticity, including the history and story behind the timber, the location of indigenous land it was sourced from. Each piece has a corresponding numbered plaque, confirming this is an official Sawn design.
