    Default Jarrah Buffet

    This Unit was made using 100% secondhand Jarrah.

    99% of the timber was found on the side of the road during Council Verge Collections and from 'Skip' bins where owners had demolished pergolas, carports etc..

    About 1% of the timber and the glass were purchased from a Salvage yard. Door furniture was purchased new.

    Whole Unit is 2.1m tall X 1.5m wide.

    Finish is Danish Oil.

    Xamdam,

    That is a beautiful piece of work. I am envious of your living in a place where jarrah is so common that people throw it out on the road verges. Here we pay about $4500 a cube for it, and that piece would have cost around $600 in wood alone.

    Excellent work. Saved a tree, too.

    Well done - you should be proud of the result
    Recycled Jarrah is $4500 per cube here in Melb if you can find what you need

    Great work and recycling. Is it possible to see in greater detail the ornamental braces under the shelf. How did you make them?

    Top job there - and all we eastsiders are green with envy at your finds. Most of the stuff that gets thrown out over here seems to come off the MDF tree.

    Default Jarrah Buffet - Ornamental Corners

    Wood Borer

    Corners were made out of 100mm x 100mm x 30mm pieces of Jarrah.

    I only used a drill and jigsaw to get shapes.

    Curves courtesy of a 20c piece to get radius even.

    The missus provided the (freehand) design.

    That's a quality effort XamDam . Is the unit the colour it appears to be in the firts group of pics or lighter as in the bracket detail. Great rubbish you get over your way

    Thanks for the additional photo. That little detail looks great even if it didn't take a lot of effort.

    This is an impressive piece of work, Mr. X.

    I like the fact that you used recycled timber. And the small details are an outstanding feature.
