The bigger brother of our Makai dining table, the Curved Makai offers a seamless curved end rail to allow seating at the end of the table. This is great when having dinner parties or even the Sunday roast as everyone can sit at the table and feel included.
A combination of three eucalypt species come under the Wormy Chestnut banner. Pieces are straw blonde to light brown in colour and are selected for their featured appearance, the result of years of wildfires, drought and insect attacks. Gum veins, pinholes and squiggly worm marks are all desired features that give this timber a rustic charm.
Tasmanian Oak
Tasmanian Oak is the cumulation of three Eucalyptus hardwoods grown and sourced in Tasmania. It is a light coloured, straight grain timber that includes minimal feature, making it the perfect understated timber to compliment any furniture design. Colours within the species range from straw to a light red brown.
American White Oak
Popular for its unique and coarse figure American Oak is overall quite light in colour with light to dark brown heartwood. The cellular appearance on the end grain makes it a popular choice when visible end grain is displayed through a particular design. Grown in America's eastern states and sourced from local specialist timber suppliers.
American Black Walnut
The naturally darkest and most desired timber we work with. Walnut has a light to dark chocolatey brown heartwood with creamy white sapwood and is super smooth in colour and tactility. It’s a pleasure to work with and a treat to dine on.
The original Hardwax Oil is based on natural vegetable oils and waxes. It is micro-porous and does not crack, flake, peel or blister. Good for the environment and good for you! Our hardwax oil accentuates the natural colour and grain of the timber, giving it a permanent "wet look". Resistant to wine, beer, cola, coffee, tea, fruit juices, milk and water etc. and virtually anything your kids can throw at it. Dirt can easily be removed without trace and renovating, even partially, is easy. Just clean and re-treat worn areas: No sanding, no repair marks and no removal of previous coats required.
Raw Effect Hardwax Oil
Our Raw Effect finish accentuates the natural colour and grain of the timber, giving it a permanent "wet look". Raw Effect counters this exaggeration of the wood's colour, leaving the surface looking as near to natural as possible.The finish is close to being invisible to the eye and retains as much of the wood's natural colour as possible.
“The Built showroom is drool-worthy, everything is such high quality and expertly custom built. Our new media unit looks so great and the process of purchasing it was a dream. I was even able to view the timber before it was made to ensure I would be happy with the finished product. Scott's advice and communication is excellent. Highly recommend!”

Why timber? Well, before we’re furniture makers, we’re nature lovers.
Wood is warm and natural, simple yet solid, and reminds us that no matter what’s happening in the world, we can always go outside, get back to basics, and ground ourselves.
