Shiny shiny table tops

When our clients request a full gloss finish - we say why not !!

A beautiful (professional) high gloss will definitely add to the wow factor of timber

Done correctly a well applied finish will highlight the beautiful patina of the timber as well as act as a protectant to the timber ensuring longevity of the finished piece

We recently completed this beautiful Jarrah table top for a funky outdoor area - and our client was ecstactic with the result

A classic square table has now become the focal point of this beautiful outdoor sanctuary

The elegance of Mahogany

With its reddish brown hue that enriches over time, Mahogany Timber is the ideal choice for dining room furniture.

Its warm tones heighten the design aesthetic and impart a warmth and and ambience that only timber can supply.

The side table we recently custom made is a wonderful example of this.

Beauty in the detail

Custom Making Hoop Pine Cabinets

The over riding advantage for custom making is that it solves problems and provides solutions.  Furniture is tailor made for each individual circumstance. As each family is different so are their furniture, storage  and lifestyle requirements, there are  no cookie cutter solutions.

Our current project provides ample storage, reducing clutter and is classically designed to enhance the existing decor.

We are in the final stages of completion of Hoop Pine Cabinets with an accompanying wine rack.

The team in action, custom making a timber cabinet

Once initial sketches are approved by the client tech drawings are made to ensure accuracy ,precision and a smooth production process.

After production, the polishing begins, once again our polishing is colour matched to existing client pieces to ensure a seamless transition into the home.

We also offer gloss, satin and various sheen  options to our clients so once again each piece is an individual and is specifically made to the clients wishes right down to the last detail.

*Furniture can fade and age prematurely so please keep furniture out of direct sunlight !
