Types of Timber for Furniture
Creating sustainable furniture from native Australian recycled timber
In Australia, we are so lucky to have such as wide range of beautiful and sustainable timbers available to us to create truly stunning furniture. At Bombora, we primarily use wood from the local Victorian Eucalyptus species of Messmate, Wormy Chestnut and Australian Chestnut to build our pieces of timber furniture.
We prefer to use these timbers as they are hard-wearing, have low travel miles and create a beautiful finish. We only use new timbers that have been certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) to ensure they have been responsibly sourced.
