In June, Woodsmiths Margaret River erected a traditional timber frame structure on Burnside Organic Farm in Margaret River. The timbers were hand hewn beams from some spotted gum (Corymbia maculata) grown on the Fair Harvest plantation that they manage just 2km from the site. It doesn’t get much more local than that!
The beams were formed in the traditional way with axe and adze. It provides an aesthetic that can't be found any other way. It's extremely hard work, but working the wood in this way brings joy.
"We are so happy and grateful to have been given the opportunity to complete this project for Burnside Organic Farm and promote a better way of using local timber to provide beautiful, long-lasting structures.
Thanks to everyone involved in our vision up to this point, and a special thanks to SWAN and Fair Harvest Permaculture for your continued support. .
