Entrance Table
In the late1950’s/early 1960’s teams of Timber Millers toured the floodplains of Oxley in North East Victoria, milling Red Gum timber for fence posts in Melbourne. The Millers left behind many unique slabs of Red Gum which were subjected to, and moved around by flood waters before being rescued by Geoff in 2014. The natural grains and astonishing range of colours, due to age and exposure to the elements are exceptional. The stand has been repurposed from vintage horse drawn equipment, specifically a disc plough circa 1920’s for the base and a hay binder circa 1900’s for the supports.

Sofa Table
Our client desired a tall, narrow table to display and hold a plant, book, cuppa or decorative objects behind the sofa. She fell in love with the character, colour and grains of our Natural Attrition Lightwood (Acacia Implexa) timber – a truly gorgeous Australian Hardwood which this table was lovingly handcrafted from. Custom designed and crafted to fit existing limited space, sitting flush against the wall and sofa.

This unique piece of living art can be yours at $1,650.00. Pimpling refers to the coral-like protrusions on the outer bark of the tree and is highly prized for the unique circular patterning it creates throughout the inner timber. Geoff also highly values the outer bark for its true uniquity and beauty, keeping it intact on his creations to add a new dimension of character and individuality. The stand has been repurposed from vintage horse drawn equipment, specifically the legs from the Tines of a Scarifier Plough, the brackets from a Chisel Plough & the Tines (resting on solid Red Gum slabs) are held in situ by iron horse shoe nails – all circa 1950’s. Measurements: Height 84cm; Base Width 75cm; Top Length 153cm; Width tapers – 65cm (widest) 50cm (mid) 4cm (narrowest). The timber was sourced from a naturally fallen tree on our property, estimated to be ~200+ years old (from the diameter of the tree). The unique shape resembles a Map of Victoria when viewed in a mirror, hence the name.
