Sustainable Elegance: The Beauty of Recycled Timber Tables from Thor’s Hammer
April 2025
In a world where sustainability is becoming increasingly important, furniture choices matter. At Thor’s Hammer, we design and craft high-quality tables from recycled Australian hardwoods, blending durability, history, and sustainability into each design.
Choosing a recycled timber table is more than just a design decision—it’s a commitment to preserving natural resources, reducing waste, and creating a home filled with character and exceptional craftsmanship.
Why Choose Recycled Timber?
Recycled timber comes with a history. Each piece of wood has lived a previous life—whether as structural beams in historic buildings, bridge timbers, or roof purlins. By repurposing these materials, we reduce the demand for newly harvested timber, helping to protect Australia’s forests while giving these timbers a second life.
The benefits of using recycled timber extend beyond reducing the demand for new timbers:
Strength and Durability – Many of the Australian hardwoods we reclaim, such as ironbark and blackbutt, are naturally dense and durable, ensuring your table lasts for generations.
Unique Character – The grain, texture, and weathered marks of recycled timber add depth, character and individuality to each piece, creating furniture that tells a story of its past life.
Lower Carbon Footprint – By saving timber from landfill, you are locking up the carbon it holds and stopping it from being released into the atmosphere. When a ton of dry recycled timber rots and breaks down, it actually creates 1.8 tons of carbon dioxide (each carbon atom in the timber combines with two oxygen atoms from the air).
Our Range of Recycled Timber Tables
At Thor’s Hammer, our tables are designed to be both beautiful and functional. Whether for a family dining space, outdoor entertaining, a home office, or a new table for the boardroom, our tables embody sustainability without compromising on quality.
Every table can be built in the recycled timber species and finishes of your choice, allowing you to customise the look of your new table to your exact requirements. Many of our recycled timber tables can be easily disassembled and flat packed, ensuring easy transportation and delivery. Select one of our standard table sizes or work with our design team to create a recycled timber table to the size you need to suit your space.
A Commitment to Craftsmanship and Sustainability
Our approach goes beyond simply using recycled timber materials. We ensure that every step of our production process aligns with sustainable principles:
Low-Waste Manufacturing – We maximise the use of every piece of recycled timber, repurposing offcuts into smaller furniture pieces and accessories.
Eco-Friendly Finishes – We use natural, non-toxic Osmo hard wax oil to protect the wood while maintaining its natural beauty.
Local Craftsmanship – Each table is handcrafted in our Canberra workshop by skilled artisans dedicated to sustainable furniture making.
