Born from
the Bush

My name's Brad Gibson. I've been wandering the Charlestown bushland for years โ€” and I kept seeing it. Beautiful, fallen timber. Branches the storms had brought down. Wood people had trimmed and left for the tip.

I couldn't let it disappear.

So I started picking it up. Bringing it home. Learning its grain, its character. Every piece of wood tells you what it wants to become โ€” you just have to pay attention.

Today, every board I make is a rescued piece of Australian bush. Nothing new is cut. Nothing goes to waste. Just honest timber given a second life in your home โ€” where it'll outlast the furniture around it.

I don't make products. I make stories that happen to sit on your table.

Zero New Trees

Storm-fallen branches. Trimmed timber. Salvaged pieces. Every board uses wood that was headed for the skip.

๐Ÿ“

Locally Sourced

Wood from the Charlestown bush and surrounding Newcastle region. Your piece carries a bit of this place.
