    Wooden Corbels ... 3 Of The Biggest

    When it comes to our range of wooden corbels; 3 of our designs standout due to the bigger than normal size.

    Now when I say "bigger than normal", I guess what I am referring to is when comparing to the standard 90mm wide timber corbel that is commonly used on fire-place mantles and in kitchens. These 3 designs are different due to their width being 120mm, 140mm and the biggest of them all, 175mm !

    Window Canopys in Treated Pine

    Timber window canopies (or hoods) have long been used on Australian homes. Hammersmith manufactures 2 designs that are based on early 1900's styles.

    Made from Australian grown Radiata Pine and then treated to protect from rot and decay, both styles have been produced at our Adelaide factory on the latest CNC equipment and then assembled using suitable stainless fixings and exterior grade glues.
