We recently collaborated with local Surf Coast clients to design a range of bespoke items for their beautiful property in Torquay, Victoria. We worked together to design & install solid FSC certified new Wormy Chestnut timber kitchen, entertainment & study cabinetry. Sustainable, locally sourced materials were were prioritised throughout this mindful renovation to compliment the surrounding coastal landscape.
Wormy Chestnut is a collection of newly harvested Eucalyptus species including Messmate, Silvertop Ash and Cuttail. Similar to Messmate, this timber shows evidence of the harsh Australian climate with regular exposure to drought, strong winds, fire and flood. Wormy Chestnut typically features gum pockets and veins as well as subtle small holes / black features from ambrosia beetles and pin hole borers.
Wormy Chestnut timber is a hard wearing and durable timber species, ideal for furniture making. It is also sustainably harvested, budget friendly and FSC certified (Forest Stewardship Council). With character filled sap lines, black markings and pin holes, Wormy Chestnut has the look of a recycled Messmate timber without the additional costs!
We love to work together with clients, architects & interior designers to create beautiful, well considered & functional spaces…contact us here to discuss your next custom furniture / joinery project!
