About The Distinctive Centre

A Legacy Built on

Passion and Rare Beauty

For over 20 years, Distinctive Timbers & Furniture has been a haven for those who appreciate the unparalleled beauty and craftsmanship of 
Tasmanian timbers. Our story began with our founder, Ray Cross, who, captivated by the mesmerizing rainbow hues of purple, red, and blue 
found in these unique hardwoods, saw more than just wood – he saw potential. Witnessing the artistry that emerged from these timbers sparked 
a passion that continues to define us

More Than Just a Supplier

Unlocking the Magic of Aged Timbers

We understand the frustration that most custom furniture makers face – the constant search for the perfect wood to bring a vision to life. Unlike 
most, we are not just furniture makers, but seasoned timbers suppliers with a vast collection of aged timbers at our fingertips. This includes coveted
hardwoods like Huon pine, a slow-growing giant boasting a lifespan of 1,500 to 2,500 years. Our extensive dry stock ensures readily available 
materials, eliminating the delay and uncertainty of sourcing timbers elsewhere.
ABOUT US

Respect for the Source

Sustainable Practices and Ethical Sourcing

We take pride in our commitment to sustainability and ethical sourcing. Many of the timbers in our collection were meticulously harvested years ago, ensuring proper drying and responsible forestry practices. This dedication allows us to offer not just exquisite wood, but peace of mind.

Embracing the Unexpected

Where Inspiration Meets Craft

The beauty of working with aged timbers lies in its inherent individuality. Each piece possesses unique grain patterns and color variations, creating
a collaborative process between wood and craftsman. We don't just craft furniture – we partner with the natural artistry of the timbers, guiding its 
transformation into a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. This collaborative spirit allows for exciting discoveries along the way, where the magic of the 
wood truly comes alive
