OFFCUTS BREADBOARDS & CHEESEBOARDS
Our signature range of upcycled timber breadboards are made from high-quality recycled Australian hardwood offcuts, saved from the projects and pieces we make here at Thor’s Hammer. We make new offcuts breadboards and cheeseboards regularly.
Our larger breadboards are usually made from furniture and kitchen benchtop offcuts, while our smaller cheeseboards are made from ridge boards, a structural roof timber.
Regardless of which size and timber species you choose, each of these boards are completely unique, finished with food safe grapeseed oil, and are available in a range of species, such as Ironbark, Spotted Gum, Mixed Ash and Blackbutt.
B&T BREADBOARDS & SERVING PLANKS
Our B&T Boards are a design collaboration between Brian Tunks from Bisonhome & our founder and owner, Thor Diesendorf. Ideal for serving your favourite cheese or slicing fresh bread, they’re available in either the shorter breadboard option, or in its longer iteration, the Plank, in recycled Mixed Ash and Blackbutt. Finished with food safe grapeseed oil.
DRY VASE DESIGNED BY THOR DIESENDORF
Our founder and director Thor Diesendorf designed this striking dry vase for an exhibition inspired by Enrico Taglietti's architecture, held upstairs above our workshop in The Mixing Room Gallery. The half lapped mitre joint refers to a recurring form in Enrico's work.
This vase is perfect for displaying arrangements of dry native flowers, grasses and twigs, and would fit beautifully in a house that already has timber elements such as flooring or fine custom furniture.
SOMETHING TO KEEP THEM WARM…
RECYCLED SAWDUST FIRE BRIQUETTE SAMPLE BOX
For use in wood heaters, our extremely popular Recycled Sawdust Fire Briquettes are highly efficient, and clean burning. And, they’re made from our waste sawdust from furniture production.
There’s currently a waitlist on briquette pallets, but our Sample Boxes (including 12-14 briquettes) are still in stock and would be a nice gift for anyone living in a colder climate.
Our firewood pallets are from the same quality Australian hardwood we use to make our custom furniture and flooring. When we de-nail the recycled timbers we have rejects that don’t make the grade and are docked to firewood size.
FOR THE CRAFTY AND CREATIVE
ONE OFF TIMBERS FROM THE RACKS
We have recycled and ready to use dressed timbers, with a large variety of species and sizes available for your next DIY project. Our dressed timber racks hold timbers processed and ready for our furniture making team which you are welcome to choose from.
Our customers use these to make a huge variety of objects, including furniture, artworks, chopping boards, guitar bodies, carved spoons, and so much more. If you can’t make it into the workshop, give us a call on (02) 6282 9900 and we can describe for you what we have in stock at that time.
