The beauty of solid timber dining tables

A wooden dining table should last as long as the memories made around it. Unlike mass-produced options, a solid timber table can be repaired, resurfaced, or refinished when needed, giving it the strength to withstand decades of daily life.

Every Bombora table is built by hand by our team of furniture makers. From recycled Messmate with its bold character to the warmth of Blackbutt or the deep tones of Walnut, each of the 7 timbers in our range brings its own personality.

Our dining table timber options

From the sapline character of recycled Messmate to the golden warmth of Blackbutt and the deep richness of Walnut, each of the seven timbers in our wooden dining tables range has its own unique personality.

Unlike stained finishes that can date or wear unevenly, natural timber tones age gracefully, developing character and beauty that lasts for generations.

Choose the right timber for your dining table

The timber you choose will shape the overall look and feel of your dining space for years to come. While all of our Australian-made wooden dining tables are crafted from premium-quality timber, each species has its own unique character, colour and grain pattern. 

Here's how to choose the best wooden dining tables for your space:

  1. Consider your interior style — Lighter timbers like Blackbutt suit coastal, Scandinavian and contemporary homes, while darker options like Walnut create a more luxurious feel.
  2. Think about the level of character you prefer — Messmate and recycled Messmate features distinctive grain patterns and natural markings, while Blackbutt offers a cleaner, more uniform appearance.
  3. Match the timber to your colour palette — Consider how the timber will complement your flooring, cabinetry and surrounding furniture.
  4. Choose a timber that suits your lifestyle — All of our solid wooden dining tables are built for everyday use, but some timbers develop more visible character over time, adding to their unique appeal.
  5. Ask our team for guidance — If you're unsure which timber is right for your home, we're happy to help you compare options and select the perfect fit for your custom dining table.

The custom dining table process

Step 1: Discuss your design

Whether you've fallen in love with one of our existing designs or have an inspiration image in mind, we'll discuss your vision, dimensions and requirements to help bring your ideal table to life.

Step 2: Select your timber

We'll help you choose from our range of sustainably sourced and reclaimed timbers, taking into consideration your home's style, colour palette and lifestyle needs.

Step 3: Review your drawing

Before construction begins, we'll provide a detailed drawing for approval. This gives you complete confidence that every detail is correct before we start building.

Step 4: Construction begins

Your table is handcrafted by our furniture makers in Torquay using traditional craftsmanship and premium materials. Every piece receives the care and attention that only genuine custom furniture can offer.

Step 5: Delivery to your home

Once completed, your table is carefully prepared and delivered to your home, ready to become the centrepiece of family meals, celebrations and everyday moments.

Unlike many wooden dining tables for sale that are mass-produced overseas, every Bombora table is made to order, allowing you to enjoy a truly personalised piece built specifically for your home.

Caring for your timber dining table

Daily cleaning

For everyday cleaning, simply wipe the surface with a soft damp cloth to remove dust, crumbs and spills. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, as they can damage the natural timber finish over time.

Protecting against heat

While timber is incredibly durable, we recommend using placemats, trivets or coasters under hot cookware and serving dishes. This helps protect the finish and maintain the appearance of your table.

Managing moisture

Timber is a natural material that responds to its environment. Wipe up spills promptly and avoid leaving standing water on the surface for extended periods. This simple habit helps preserve both the finish and the timber beneath.

Caring for the Osmo finish

Our wooden dining tables are finished with Osmo, a premium blend of natural oils and waxes that enhances the timber's natural beauty while providing long-lasting protection.

Unlike some finishes, Osmo can be maintained and refreshed without extensive sanding. Following the manufacturer's maintenance recommendations will help keep your table looking its best for years to come.

Long-term care

Over time, timber develops character through everyday use. Small marks and signs of life often become part of the story of the piece. Should your table require refreshing in the future, solid timber can be refinished, helping extend its lifespan far beyond
