Recycled Timber

Hardwood - Hardwax Oil
Using Recycled Hardwood is the origin of Mark Tuckey and for many years we only made furniture with Recycled timbers. This timber is packed full of character. Salvaged from demolished buildings, our recycled Hardwood is a range of Australian Eucalyptus available in up to 60mm thick (very rare, but we have some). Expect to see gum veins, ambrosia beetle marks, dark saplines, pinholes, squiggly markings across golden to brown tones. Finished in oil to emphasise the timbers features. Expect to see nail holes and bolt holes which we fill or plug.
Oregon - Soap
Originally imported from North America, as ballast on ships, we have repurposed this timber from Australian buildings. Being a soft timber, the hardest of all the soft woods, our recycled Oregon often holds the patina of it’s long history. Expect to see nail holes and bolt holes which we fill or plug. Rich in tone, different treatments lighten the colour of the timber. Grain marks vary from tight and straight, to large swirls.

Our commitment to crafting quality furniture from Australian timber spans over three decades. By building lasting relationships with both long-standing and new suppliers, we diversify our sources to include recycled hardwood, reclaimed materials, and ethically sourced timber from plantations and agroforestry projects.

As the timber industry evolves and the number of local mills decline, we remain dedicated to sourcing sustainable Australian hardwood, ensuring we don’t rely on imported materials. Our long-standing reputation is built on our ability to adapt and continue producing locally sourced, environmentally conscious timber furniture.
