At Mountain Top Timbers, we seek to realize the full potential of the exceptional timbers growing on the Dorrigo Plateau. We are committed to producing heritable pieces of such quality that they will be passed on with pride for generations to come.
The wood we use lives on in each item we create. Each commissioned piece is individually designed and handcrafted by the talented furniture maker Gordon Buchanan. Gordon uses a mixture of traditional and modern techniques in the workshop. Some of the more traditional processes, such as handcarving and handfinishing, produce unique results which modern technology cannot emulate. Many traditional joints are used for their proven strength and durability, but modern machinery often facilitates increased accuracy.
Here’s a glimpse into Gordon’s workshop.
