Yes, You Can Customise the Design of a Custom Timber Table!
When you’re considering a custom timber table, the first question that comes to mind is: can I customise the design? The answer is a big, resounding yes!
You aren’t limited to what’s on display. With a custom timber table, the possibilities are as broad as your imagination. Whether it’s adjusting the dimensions, choosing specific materials, or adding unique touches, the process is all about making it personal.
Why Customising Your Timber Table Matters
Customisation isn’t just about looks—it’s about creating something that reflects your style and fits your home. Imagine walking into your dining room and seeing a table you helped design. It’s not just custom handmade furniture; it’s part of your life and your memories.
• Your table reflects your personality.
• You control every detail, making it truly yours.
• It becomes a conversation piece, rich with personal meaning.
Being involved in the design process connects you to the craftsmanship, and every time you sit down, you’ll feel the pride of creation.
Where to Start: The Design Process
The design process begins with a chat. At Lumber Furniture, we listen to your ideas and help you shape your vision. What do you need the table for? How will it complement your space? Once we know the basics, we’ll guide you through the customisation options.
• Size: Want a grand dining table or something more intimate?
• Shape: Rectangular, round, or something a little unconventional?
• Finish: Matte, glossy, or natural—how should your timber look and feel?
Every decision you make brings the table closer to your ideal. It’s not about trends; it’s about creating a piece that’s just right for you.
Customisation Options: The Details That Matter
Custom timber tables are all about the details. From wood species to the hardware, every decision makes the table uniquely yours.
• Wood Type: Choose from species like American white oak, Blackbutt, or reclaimed hardwood. Each wood tells its own story.
• Edge Profiles: Smooth, rounded, or rustic live edge—what’s your style?
• Base Design: Whether sleek powder-coated legs or an industrial look, we’ve got you covered.
These choices, however small, add to your table’s uniqueness. It’s a collaboration between you and the craftsmen.

Why Size and Shape Matter
The right size and shape transform both the table and the room it’s in. Need a large table for family dinners or a smaller one for cosy meals? We’ll make it happen.
• Rectangular: A classic choice, perfect for larger spaces.
• Round: Creates an intimate, communal feel.
• Custom Shapes: Feeling bold? We’ll design something completely unique.
Size and shape are more than aesthetics—they shape the experience of sharing meals and moments.
The Importance of Wood Selection
Choosing the right wood for your table is key. At Lumber Furniture, we offer a wide range of sustainably sourced timbers. Each wood has its own beauty and character, enhancing your table’s story.
• American White Oak: Timeless and versatile.
• Blackbutt: Strong, durable, with a beautiful grain.
• Reclaimed Hardwood: Full of history and sustainability.
Each slab of timber is one-of-a-kind, rich with texture and life, making your table truly unique.
Customising the Finish: Matte, Glossy, or Natural?
The finish gives your table personality. Do you prefer a soft matte look, a glossy finish, or a raw, natural feel? Each finish brings out different qualities in the wood.
• Matte: Understated and contemporary.
• Glossy: Elegant and reflective.
• Natural: Keeps the wood’s raw beauty in focus.

A well-chosen finish not only affects the look but also the durability of your table.
Metal vs Timber Bases: What’s Your Style?
Your table’s base is more than just support—it’s a design statement. At Lumber Furniture, we craft both timber and powder-coated metal bases.
• Timber Bases: For a cohesive, natural look.
• Metal Bases: Sleek, modern, and durable.
• Mixed Materials: Combine the warmth of wood with the strength of metal for a unique touch.
The base brings your design together, adding character to your custom piece.

• Generational: Pass it down to future generations as a treasured heirloom.
Your table becomes a symbol of tradition, shared moments, and memories.
When Renee came to us with her dream of two custom timber dining tables, we were honoured.
She wanted one table for her indoor living space and another for her alfresco area, each designed to reflect her personal style. Combining the elegance of American Oak with the natural charm of Messmate, Renee envisioned two custom handmade furniture centrepieces that would be the heart of her new home.
For her indoor dining table, Renee chose American Oak with a luxurious, semi-circle design. The standout feature? Solid timber round bases, adding sophistication and making it a true showpiece. The alfresco table, on the other hand, was crafted from striking Messmate, with an 80mm edge and matching bench seats, blending durability with natural beauty.
Each table tells Renee’s story, combining elegance and functionality, and was brought to life with our craftsmanship and her vision.
