Solid Grain Timbers

This time I’m running through a beautiful slab of Australian Silky Oak.

This timber is magnificent. So strong and straight, and lightweight. It’s the classic cabinet timber that all the old wardrobes, a lot of chairs, and beautiful mid-century Australian furniture was made out of.

And we’ve got some ethically sourced slabs in stock right now, so if you’re interested, come and check them out.

But look at how beautiful this comes up. 🌳✨

Here I am sending a nice little slab of mango through the thicknesser. 🪵✨

It comes out beautifully. Love seeing those reflective patterns and all that grain suddenly come to life.

It’s amazing what can be hiding behind a crusty old exterior. Sometimes you’ve just got to take a layer off and see what’s underneath.

Yep just for 2 weeks we won't be in early.
But we'll still be serving up the best timber around.

Today I ran this piece of mixed Australian hardwood through the thicknesser. I’m pretty sure I know what species it is, but it’s hard to tell. It’s pretty blonde, kind of light brown as well, and it’s got some yellow tinges here and there.

Can you guess what it is?

Sometimes salvage doesn’t come from an old building. Sometimes nature creates it. 🌳🌪️

This absolute giant of a Blackbutt came down during Cyclone Alfred, and we’ve been lucky enough to salvage these enormous barrels from the trunk.

You can see Rex inspecting the growth rings, getting a glimpse into just how many years of history are sitting inside this tree. And with the barrels taking up most of the truck… these are some serious whoppers.

Now comes the exciting bit: figuring out what they can become.

Big slabs? A statement table? Something completely unexpected?

Whatever it is, we reckon there’s another chapter waiting inside. 🪵✨

From storm-fallen tree → salvaged timber → who knows what next?

THE BIG REVEAL 👉

From raw, radial hoop pine to something a little darker 🔥

Scorched to bring out the grain, deepen the colour and give the whole piece a beautifully weathered character.

Rustic. Rugged. Toasted. 🔥🌲

Built from ethically sourced Northern Rivers hoop pine, shaped, joined, scorched and finished by hand at Solid Grain Timbers.
