Country Style Kitchen Boards

Our beautiful Country style timber boards are not only for cutting on, but we also have a selection of designs that make lovely serving platters.
Just the right item when entertaining and serving cheese and bickeys with a glass of your favorite wine.
They are outstanding decor for your Kitchen to enhance any type of bench top.

THE TIMBERS WE LOVE TO USE.
 Spotted Gum, BlackButt, Tallowwood, Huon Pine, Tassie Oak, Pine,
Forrest Red Gum.

All our boards are oiled with Vitis vinifera  (grape seed oil) it is perfect for oiling timber boards, it does not oxidise and will not go rancid like olive oil and vegetable oils.

CARE FOR YOUR BOARDS.
All timber boards can not swim, so don't drown them by submersing in water, or the biggest killer the dish washer. Just give them a scrub with warm soapy water let them dry and give a light oil and wipe over with kitchen paper before putting them away.
Don't worry about knife marks remember this is a working utensil, and if you want you can give it a light sand and re oil.

Adirondack Chairs




Coffee Creek Homewares
Australian made Adirondack Chairs hand made with Australian timbers.





My very first Adirondack Chair, made from a pine pallet.



The classic Adirondack Chair began it's life in the summer of 1903, when Thomas Lee wanted a comfortable chair for his holiday residents in The Adirondack Mountains of New York. It has been said he made the chair to accommodate his mother, who happened to be quite a large woman.
 During a hunting expedition with his friend Harry Bunnell, who was looking for some work to do through the winter,he suggested that he should make some of the then Westport plank chairs. Harry patented the chair in 1904 and a American icon was born, and now over 106 years later we are still trying to improve or change this wonderful chair.

Australian spotted gum oiled

All our chairs are hand made by me, I use Australian spotted gum on the oiled chairs, it is a very hard timber and will last for a long time.
I use stainless steel screws, and gal bolts. all holes are tapered and then plugged
