The Jarrimber story
I’ve always had a passion for woodworking. So I thought that I would start making some furniture out of recycled Jarrah timber. That’s where Jarrimber started — from Jarrah timber.

Jarrimber was started back in 2009. I was working in the building industry, and it was going a little bit quiet. I’ve always had a passion for woodworking, and a lot of the old roof timbers here in WA — mainly Jarrah — were just going to waste. So I thought that I would start making some furniture out of the recycled Jarrah timber. That’s where Jarrimber started — from Jarrah timber.
At the start, I was just making dining tables, purely dining tables. It was a slow start. I started in the garage, a little back shed, and built and grew from there. Then we got involved in other timbers — especially Marri, Tasmanian Oak, Blackwood, Victorian Ash — and eventually a couple of exotic timbers like American Oak.
In 2019, I partnered with Joe. We’d worked together for a long time before that — I was doing tables, Joe and his uncles were making chairs. When his uncles retired, Joe approached me and we decided to collaborate. So I moved from the hills down to Osborne Park, and we joined forces.
Handcrafted, one piece at a time.
What sets us apart is that we’re handcrafted, bespoke furniture makers. We make furniture as a one-off item — we’re not mass-producing anything. Each piece is individual. We work closely with each client to understand their exact requirements, and then we put them into production.
We’ve got good joining techniques, we use quality finishes, and we take a lot of pride in our customer service. Every piece of timber is machined, cut, and carefully shaped by hand into something built to last.
Some clients like to pick their

timber before it’s even built, and others are happy to leave it to us.
Our apprentices
We also employ apprentices and teach them from the ground up — the way we want to do things. It’s not just pressing a button on a CNC machine. Each piece of timber is machined by hand, cut by hand. It literally is handcrafted furniture.
Many of our clients appreciate the opportunity to visit and see the timber being made, as well as touch and feel it. Some people like to pick their timber before it’s even built, and others are happy to leave it to us.
You can see our work on display at Home Base Design & Build Centre in Subiaco, or visit the Osborne Park workshop to see how it’s handmade.
