Is Recycled Timber A Smart Choice for Indoor and Outdoor Furniture?
At Peninsula Recycled Timber, our philosophy is rooted in sustainability and craftsmanship. From custom dining tables for homes to high-traffic seating in local cafes, restaurants, and bars, recycled timber is our material of choice and for good reason.
Whether you’re furnishing a cozy living room, designing an alfresco dining area, or fitting out a café or office space, recycled timber offers unmatched beauty, character, and durability.
The Charm of Character
One of the most distinctive features of recycled timber is its rich history. Every grain, knot, and nail hole tells a story - from heritage buildings, wharves, barns or old homes across Victoria and beyond. When you choose recycled timber furniture, you're not just buying a piece of furniture - you're preserving a slice of Australian history.
This unique patina can’t be replicated by mass-produced materials. It adds warmth and depth to interiors and brings rustic charm or industrial edge to outdoor spaces. No two pieces are ever the same, making recycled timber a standout feature in any room or garden.
Choose from:
Blackbutt
Messmate
Spotted Gum
Ironbark
Ash
Tallowwood

Tough Enough for Everyday Use
Hospitality venues across the Mornington Peninsula and beyond trust us to create tables and seating that can handle the demands of busy service, day in and day out.
Recycled Australian hardwoods such as Messmate, Ironbark and Blackbutt are not only rich in character, they’re also incredibly strong and stable - perfect for commercial environments and family homes alike.
Built to Last
Old timber has already stood the test of time – under the ocean, in old factories or barns or fallen and seasoned in old growth forests. The density and hardness created over time is what makes recycled timber ideal for both indoor and outdoor use.
Inside homes and retail/commercial settings, it brings warmth and natural texture to dining tables, benches, shelves, and cabinetry. Outside, it’s a solid choice for garden seating, decking, or feature tables - with the resilience to withstand our ever-changing Australian climate. From searing summer days to the windy wildness of winter, recycled and reclaimed timber furniture is built tough enough to withstand it all.
Works With Every Style
Whether your space is coastal, industrial, contemporary, or country, recycled timber furniture complements a wide range of design aesthetics. The natural variation in grain, tone, and texture gives each piece a warmth and authenticity that elevates any room while detailed finishes ensure it works in harmony with your existing décor.
We’ve worked with interior designers, architects, and business owners to produce everything from sleek modern tables to rustic communal benches - each one a true one-off.

All our timber is carefully salvaged and ethically sourced, with a focus on Victorian hardwoods. We prepare each piece at our Mornington workshop, where our skilled team creates furniture to suit your exact needs.
