    Tasmanian Oak - Raw Effect

    Our Raw Effect oil incorporates a touch of white pigment to counteract the persistent 'wet-look' that may arise after applying a clear coat. This unique finish is meticulously crafted to preserve the natural essence of lighter coloured timbers, giving them a genuine 'Raw' appearance, all the while safeguarding them with our durable hard wax oil finish.

    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 - Raw Effect

    Our Raw Effect oil incorporates a touch of white pigment to counteract the persistent 'wet-look' that may arise after applying a clear coat. This unique finish is meticulously crafted to preserve the natural essence of lighter coloured timbers, giving them a genuine 'Raw' appearance, all the while safeguarding them with our durable hard wax oil finish.

    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.

  • Finish Options

    Clear Hardwax Oil Matte

    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. American White Oak

    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.   furniture maker near me, custom furniture, dining table adelaide, custom dining set

Normal Friday activities at Built = blindfolding the boss and making him identify timber by smell.

Completely normal.

But honestly…
There’s something about walking into a workshop and being able to smell your furniture being made.

If that sounds like your kind of furniture journey…
Come smell the woodchips.

Some people look for dining tables while others seek something a little more.

A place where people naturally gather and meals are only a small part of the story.

Homework gets spread out.
Projects begin.
Conversations run longer than planned.
Celebrations happen without needing a reason.

Furniture from the workshop floor feels different. It’s a piece you connect with, not just something you buy. It comes with a story of creation and works as hard as you do. Not just at dinner time but in the moments that quietly shape family life.

It doesn’t just hold plates, but the rhythm and soul of a home.

In Timber We Trust.
