Mixed Ash

Salvaged from Melbourne houses. Back in the day the old floor boards were milled from the giant Mountain Ash trees which grow in the ranges around Melbourne. Fine grained, denser and harder than new Ash which comes from younger smaller trees.

Tallowwood
Salvaged from Picton High School

Tallowwood is a very dense, hard wearing timber for both indoor and outdoor usage. It used to be commonly used in telegraph poles and industrial flooring for this reason. These boards salvaged from Picton High come with a lot of patina but can also be sanded back for a consistent mid brown finish.

Blackbutt

By far our most popular timber, Blackbutt is a neutral timber with variation in colour. This is an example of what it looks like once it has been stripped back and finished.

Wide Jarrah
Salvaged from Sydney house
180 x 22mm
13 m²
De-nailed, cleaned & docked - $125 / SQM

This one came to us from Andrew Banks (of Shark Tank) when it was recovered from his Point Piper house during a renovation. This is seriously wide and rare to find! We haven’t got a lot left, but it would make an exceptional entrance floor or lounge room feature wall.

Mixed Ash
Salvaged from Glengala Primary School in West Melbourne
108 x 19mm
40 m² available
De-nailed, cleaned & docked - $85 / SQM

This has quite a patina on it, but would come up nice and light with a sand. Ash is well known for dark features which adds a lot to it’s character.

SOLD. This has been a favourite of ours. A gym floor complete with all of the paint! Many of our customers have chosen to strip this back to reveal the lovely light tones and it has also been used to create a feature wall as is. Get in touch if you would like us to help you find something similar.
