We source recycled timber from Timber Zoo in Geelong and Timber & Rose in Melbourne. The timber is reclaimed from buildings or bridges that are being taken down. The timber then has the nails and other hardware removed, dried to under 12% and cut to a uniform size. Not all timbers are available recycled. We can access recycled messmate, Blackbutt, Jarrah, Red Gum and Ironbark. Supply is not consistent for all these timbers.

If we are sourcing new timber, we ensure that it is all certified as being from sustainable and ethical plantations. These certifications include FSC. Our new timbers used to create our wooden furniture are those such as American Oak, Australian Chestnut, Walnut, Wormy Chestnut, Tasmanian Blackwood and Messmate are sourced from Mathews Timber in Melbourne.

The Bombora timber furniture aesthetic is modern design combined with timber full of character. Recycled timber is more likely to have a variance of grain, tone and sap lines as it is slow growing and affected by the natural changes in the environment. Timber grown in plantations tends to have a more uniform and straight grain pattern, with fewer sap lines and knots. Recycled timber has features such as iron staining from nails and tiger grain patterns from being exposed to the elements which adds individuality to a piece that cannot be reproduced. We prefer to use our local reclaimed Victorian hardwoods such as Messmate, Victorian Ash, and Tasmanian Oak to save on travel miles and reduce environmental effects.

Timbers that have more consistent grains and less natural features are Tasmanian Oak, select-grade Blackbutt, American Oak and Australian Chestnut.
