Our Timber Selection

Creating wooden furniture from sustainable timbers
There is something irresistible about timber, the depth of its grain, the warmth of its tones, and the way it grows more beautiful with time. At Bombora, we honour this splendour by crafting furniture that lets the wood speak for itself. We work primarily with local Victorian species such as Messmate, Tasmanian Blackwood, and Blackbutt, chosen for their durability, character, and minimal travel miles. Every board we use is recycled or certified sustainable, ensuring each piece is as responsible as it is beautiful.
