A True Classic! Traditional Silky Oak Cupboard.

Richard wanted a classic silky oak linen cupboard to match an existing piece he has. After trolling the antique stores and the internet he thought he’d try his luck getting something custom made. He was convinced that he would never find the true classic north Queensland silky oak but he was delighted when he found Renowned. We have a stockpile of genuine aged Queensland silky oak and cedar that’s more than 45 years old.

The timber was a great find for Renowned Furniture, purchased at a government auction back in the late ‘80’s.  The state government stopped making school desks and other pieces for government owned buildings and they sold off all their old timber stock. We paid little for it back then but it’s worth its weight in gold now. The rest is going to become history…
