About Us

  • Prevent Landfill

    Based in Melbourne we hand make rustic furniture from reclaimed timber. We work with fencers and builders so that they bring us what they would otherwise take to the tip. This saves them money on tipping fees, means we get free material and more importantly we prevent it from ending up in landfill. 🙂

  • Recycle

    We take the timber and denail it ready for use. The savings we make on not paying for the material is passed on to you meaning your custom piece of furniture, chalkboard or picture frame doesn’t cost too much, in fact you’re only paying for the time it takes to make it 🙂

THE LONGER STORY

It all started when one day I was driving home…

Born and raised in North West London I was one day on my way home and I passed a skip full of floorboards outside someone’s house. For no reason whatsoever I knocked on the door and asked If the floor boards were being dumped. To my surprise they were and the owner said I was welcome to them..

After 3 trips back and forth in my old Volvo 740 Wagon full to the brim I got them back to my flat where I was met by my bemused partner, “.. and what are you gonna do with all this crap then?!” A good question it was too… I had no idea!

After spending several nights denailing the boards and sorting them into decent lengths I now needed to decide what to do with them.. We lived on top of a bank and had a pretty big roof terrace so I decided I would make some furniture to enjoy the great British summer time! With this in mind we needed it to be covered!!

I was relatively pleased with the fruits of my labour and a passion was born. I took my boot sale bought £10 mitre saw and moved on to the next project….

9 years later and I’m on the other side of the world with more power tools and a fully functioning workshop recycling timber and turning old fences otherwise destined for landfill into the products and wares on this website. Long may it continue…
