Timber Character levels

the Bombora classifications for timber character levels

At Bombora Custom Furniture, you can choose the character level in the timbers with natural and recycled features. This can greatly alter the style of your piece.

The feature grade timbers available are new and recycled Messmate, Wormy Chestnut and recycled Blackbutt. All other timbers are select grade and naturally have low feature. The select grade timbers such as American Oak, Australian Chestnut and select Blackbutt still have lots of natural grain patterns

Wood Character Level 

We are referring to natural timber features such as sap lines, sap pockets, and flecks and recycled features such as nail holes, iron staining and bolt holes. The level of character in the timber you choose can take the style of your piece from clean Danish to refined industrial style all the way to rustic!
