Pimple Tree Slabs

 

The Pimple Tree is estimated to be ~200+ years old (from the diameter of the tree) & the

exact location where it grew is a mystery. It is unknown how long ago the tree came down

& therefore the actual age of the timber is even greater. The tree lay on the river flats on

the far side of Hurdle Creek and was subjected to, and moved around by flood waters

before being rescued in 2014. It was then expertly milled to create uniquely shaped slabs

ready to begin a new life accentuating their true natural beauty in unique pieces of

bespoke furniture.  

         

Pimpling refers to the coral-like protrusions on the outer bark of the tree & is highly prized

for the unique circular patterning it creates throughout the inner timber. Our Artisans also

highly prize the outer bark for its true uniquity & beauty & therefore keep it intact on our

creations, adding a new dimension of character & individuality to each piece.

 

Potential one-off creations include: Bar/Bench/Counter/Desk tops, Bench seats,

Side/Entrance/Hall/Coffee/Occasional tables or joined together for Indoor/Outdoor Dining table.  

The funky spanner ends can be cut off & used to make very funky

Occasional/Lamp/Display/Side tables.

 

The natural grains and astonishing range of colours, due to age and exposure to the elements

are exceptional. No two are alike, making each sustainably produced piece of furniture a truly

unique, one-off, with zero impact on the environment.

The Mirror Map of Victoria Table

This stunning table has been lovingly hand tooled to realize the full

potential of the beautiful timber, by Artisan Geoff Simpson & team who

love to create a fusion with timber and recycled metal resulting in unique

pieces filled with history, character & life.   The stand has been repurposed

from vintage horse drawn equipment. Specifically the legs from the Tines of 

Scarifier Plough circa 1950’s & the brackets from a Chisel Plough circa 1950’s.

The Tines are resting on solid Red Gum Slabs, held insitu by iron horse shoe

nails circa 1950’s. This unique piece of living art can be yours at $1,650.
