A new outdoor furniture project for , featuring three custom T Tables made right here at Thor’s Hammer.

Canberra Potters wanted to make better use of their beautiful garden spaces, creating somewhere for visitors and artists to gather, enjoy lunch and spend time outdoors. With funding from artsACT, they approached us to design and make a set of outdoor tables to suit the space.

Made from recycled Spotted Gum, the tables feature clean dressed tops and custom powder-coated steel legs. We also modified the standard design, including adjusting the table height to 830mm to allow for comfortable wheelchair access.

The project includes two larger tables measuring 2000 × 900mm and a smaller square table measuring 1300 × 1300mm.

A great example of how our standard designs can be adapted to suit a particular space and purpose.

Want to explore custom outdoor furniture for your space? Take a look at our outdoor table range or get in touch with our design team.

That's a wrap for our Thor’s Hammer in the Wild competition, and we're pleased to announce Nigel as our October winner!

Nigel turned spotted gum from one of our Brisbane warehouse salvage jobs into this beautiful sideboard and display unit, complete with a waterfall benchtop and handmade handles. Finished with satin Osmo oil, it’s a great example of what can be created with recycled timber.

Nigel will be taking home a recycled timber breadboard from Thor’s Hammer. Congratulations!

A big thank you to everyone who entered and shared their projects with us over the past three months. We've loved seeing the many different ways our recycled timber finds a new life in your homes and projects.

That's the competition wrapped up for now, but we may just bring Thor's Hammer in the Wild back next year. Keep an eye out!

The second is a double waterfall island in recycled Blackbutt/Dense Browns, also with a clean dressed finish and Osmo Polyx Oil Satin. Measuring 3000 x 950 x 950mm high.

Thor’s Hammer was proud to sponsor the HIA ACT / Southern NSW Housing and Kitchen & Bathroom Awards at Parliament House last week, supporting the GreenSmart Sustainable Home Award.

It was great to support an award that recognises more sustainable approaches to building, something that aligns closely with what we do at Thor’s Hammer.

Congratulations to GEN5 Constructions and Habitat Constructions NSW, joint winners of the 2026 GreenSmart Sustainable Home Award, for their certified Passive House Plus residence.

Thor presented four awards on the night. Congratulations to all the winners, and thanks to the HIA for a great evening. It was good to catch up with so many people from across the industry.

This frame was crafted from our Canberra local Ash, made to fit a pane of glass salvaged from a damaged plastic frame and professionally fitted at a local art store. It now beautifully displays a screen-printed work by Peter Drew. The offcuts from this project are even being turned into frames for canvas artworks! Nothing goes to waste!

There’s about a week left to enter Thor’s Hammer in the Wild (ends 31 October). Share what you’ve made with our timber for your chance to win a recycled timber chopping board.

Send us your photos via DM or email [email protected].

We can’t wait to see what you’ve been making!

Thor’s Hammer wins Best Use of Recycled Timber

We’re thrilled to share that Thor’s Hammer won Best Use of Recycled Timber at the 2026 Australian Timber Design Awards for our Aesop Canberra Centre store fitout!

Working with the Aesop design team, we used recycled Bluegum / Coastal Reds throughout the store, from the brick-pattern parquetry flooring to the timber cladding that flows up the walls and across the ceiling.

A big thank you to for the collaboration, for laying the parquetry panels, and Emac Constructions for building the fitout. Great projects take a team, and we’re proud to see this one recognised.

Congratulations to everyone involved!

One of our customers has shared these beautiful projects made from timbers purchased from us over the past 12 months: a musical jewellery box crafted from Ironwood, and two jewellery boxes made using Jarrah and Teak salvaged from CSIRO workbenches.

The Teak holds a particularly special connection, as our customer’s daughter worked at these very benches while completing her PhD.

Have you made something with timber from Thor’s Hammer, or purchased a piece from us that has found a special place in your home? We want to see it all!

There’s still time to enter for your chance to win a Thor’s Hammer chopping board!
