Stockwell Dining Suite
You might remember that we restored a 100 year old grand dining table for Mark about 6 months ago. Well, Mark and Tracey have been building a new home on the river in Brisbane and we are now in the process of building 22 dining chairs & 4 carvers to go around the 6-meter long solid mahogany table.
The home has been about 2 or 3 years in the making and the finishing touches are being put in place now. We just installed the table yesterday
and expect to be delivering all 26 chairs within 2 weeks. The German leather is on its way and the French polisher expects to be completed within 10 days. I am looking forward to sending some further pictures after the whole room is fitted out.
Here you can see all 26 solid mahogany dining chairs finally polished.
The next installment will be after the burgundy leather seats are completed at the end if this week.
The Vawdrey Group Project – Custom Reception Desk
The Vawdrey reception desk is complete!
The Vawdrey group makes trailers for big road haulage trucks. They’re building a flash new Queensland office, and what we did for them is a “Make one like this, please” project.
The reception desk at their Sydney office
We think the client will be impressed with our little extras in craftsmanship and finishes. Renowned Furniture have been getting pulled into the commercial space of fine furniture making and supply over the past few years and we feel that the clients are seeing the benefits of dealing with a supplier willing to flex to their specific requirements.
Well, the boys are “head’s down, backs straight! Getting through this commissioning job for Vawdrey!
What a great show piece for the many visitors as they arrive in Vawdrey’s flash new facility.
The fronts, curved section moulded out of several layers of bonded bending plywood and then overlaid with a New Guinea Rosewood timber veneer. The silver blades (made to look a little like the structural ribs that make up a semi-trailer frame) are constructed from solid core mdf and 2 pack painted using automotive paint, there are stainless steel boss stand-offs supporting 10 mm thick custom toughened glass for the floating tops. The work tops are solid core veneer done in American oak.
Cathy & Trevor’s gong
Update – December 2, 2014
Cathy & Trevor’s Gong has been completed. Solid American Oak, reshaped into a more Japanese style frame. The original bell plate has been left untouched/unpolished for a little authenticity. The gong handle has been repaired and repolished as well. The Oak stand has been finished in a 2 pack clear (3 coats) so as to withstand the outdoors where it lives. “Lunch is ready” !! ((((( gongggg )))))
Update – November 17, 2014
Cathy’s mum’s tea service trolley has made it to the next stage. The trolley wheels had been replaced with cheap black plastic somewhere along the way so we’ve been working with a good mate, Jim from Good’s and Chattels to source some genuine replacements. More on that later.
Update: November 14,2014
We have decided not to try and restore the old rotten timber rather, we’re rebuilding it in some lovely old English oak we had lying around. It will retain the old gong stick and character along with the original beaten metal gong plate but the frame will take on a new and slightly more ‘Japanese garden entrance’ look, inspired by this particular Japanese garden located in Tokyo as Tokyo is one of their favourite spots.
Cathy also wanted her mum’s tea service trolley restored so that too is a work in progress.
Project: Cathy & Trevor’s gong and service trolley
November 10, 2014
Cathy & Trevor came to us with an old Asian gong that Trevor purchased during his travels for work some 25 years ago. It has spent its life outside the front door of their large family home situated on 20 acres, used religiously for several years to call the kids in for dinner & lunch.
Now that the children have grown & moved on, they wanted to restore ‘Mum’s old gong’ for a keepsake.
