It is funny how history tends to repeat itself when it comes to furniture design. Back in the 1960's we were regularly manufacturing simple turned tapered legs for use on various pieces of furniture; and here we are now 50 years later doing the same thing again.
Back in the 1980's we were asked by a manufacturer of wooden jigsaw puzzles as to whether we could produce a small wooden handle/knob that they would use to fit to timber letters and numbers on childrens jigsaw puzzles.
Verandah posts look great on any traditional Australian home, but the addition of a post mould, can make them look even better.
For a number years we have had a range of post moulds made in polyurethane (hardened foam) for 90sq and 115sq posts; but due to circumstances out of our control, we were not able to source these anymore; and as a result we decided to re-produce the product in timber.
Being a timber manufacturing business, we are regularly required to glue timber together to be able to make a product. For example, the FL526R 130x130 turned dining table leg that we produce is not able to come from a solid piece of timber due to its large size; instead to make it we glue 4 pieces of timber together.
In terms of turned dining table legs, the largest size that we manufacture is from 130 x 130mm Pine timber; so when we recently had a request from a customer to make them some from 180 x 180mm Jarrah, we were a little surprised.
The customer supplied their own timber and we setup a lathe and ran the 8 legs that they supplied timber for
Verandah Posts have been a big selling part of our product range for the last 2 decades. Over this period we would have made 10's of 1000's of verandah posts in turned designs to suit early Australian style homes.
Stair post tops are a great way of decorating the top of a newel post. For the last few years we have been making a couple of different designs of post caps that drop over either a 90sq or 115sq newel post.
We have been making round timber handrails for a number of years now; but there is not much point having a handrail that doesn't have an end to it !
Luckily for you we manufacture a domed timber end cap that is a simple but effective way of finishing off the end of the handrail.
If you are building a french provincial style kitchen or a fireplace mantle; why not incorporate one of our fluted or turned wooden corner posts into your design.
These posts are 900mm in length and are available in either a fluted or turned style. Both designs are available in either 90x90mm or 68x68mm timber
