This Tv cabinet is constructed out of a frame of 35mm thick Tasmanian oak. The draw front panels are made of feature grade messmate. The frame has been made with external box joins on each end really showing a contrast between face grain and end grain as each reflects light differently and generally end grain will always look darker as it absorbs alot more oil. The draw fronts were cut from the same piece of messmate, the grain pattern continues from one piece to the other creating a lovely balance. There are no draw handles as i find these  create to much clutter on pieces, if i want a piece to look busy or more striking i prefer to choose a piece of timber which will do this not by adding hardware. To operate the draws you simply push in 10mm and they pop out 60mm.

This coffee table is part of a matching pair with the previous table. The top is 30mm thick and the legs are square 40mm x 40mm. finish is oil wax combinations which gives the piece its organic feel with no plastic look that a varnish can give.

40mm thick messmate dining table

This stunning dining table is constructed from 40mm thick recycled Messmate for the table top and 50mm thick legs.
The top pieces are subtle and not overly busy with all pieces blending in together nicely.
The legs have been joined with 45degree mitres giving the table a more refined feel. Old holes and sap pockets have either been filled with timber plugs or pale epoxy resin. The finish is a danish oil which has been hard burnished to provide a hard lasting finish and then 3 layers of beeswax to really give depth to the overall patina of the timber.
