This handcrafted timber box is made from AU Blackwood with American Oak lids, using reclaimed and sustainably sourced timber. All material is repurposed offcuts and remnants from previous custom furniture projects. Designing around available material reduces demand for freshly milled timber and minimises environmental impact.

  • Ideal for anyone who wants a piece with a story behind the timber
  • Suits homes furnished with sustainable, low waste pieces
  • A good fit for fans of handcrafted, Australian made design

These handcrafted timber boxes are produced using reclaimed and sustainably sourced timber.

All material is repurposed offcuts and remnants from previous custom furniture projects. This approach ensures high-value materials are diverted from waste streams and given a second life in new forms.

By designing around available material rather than relying on new stock, each piece reduces demand for freshly milled timber and minimises environmental impact.

The process is inherently low waste, with careful selection, reuse, and optimisation of every component.

Care &
Maintenance
Being a natural product that absorbs moisture, timber continues to move throughout

Being a natural product that absorbs moisture, timber continues to move throughout its lifespan. This doesn’t stop just because the tree is cut into pieces and turned into furniture. It continues to happen even in reclaimed timbers that are very old. 

General cleaning using a dry duster, small amounts of water and dish soap are the best way to maintain your piece.

Avoid household cleaning products that contain silicone.

Avoid saturating the surface or leaving standing water on a piece.

Avoid direct sunlight and extreme temperatures: Avoid placing furniture near heaters or air conditioners, as temperature fluctuations can cause the wood to warp or split.
