Not every period detail fits a standard catalogue, which is why Classic Woodturning makes heritage timber components to order for the jobs that fall outside the usual ranges. Turning and manufacturing since 1984 from our Bayswater workshop in Melbourne's eastern suburbs, we produce bespoke mouldings, brackets, turnings, corbels, spandrels and one-off profiles for Victorian, Federation and period homes across Victoria. If it is a timber element on a heritage building, there is a good chance we can make or replicate it.
Getting a quote is simple: describe the piece, send a dimensioned photo or a sample, and note the timber and finish you are after. We work in a broad range of hardwoods and softwoods to suit staining, painting or a natural oiled finish, and can supply components raw, primed or sanded ready for site. Because every heritage timber component is made to order, sizes, profiles and quantities are all yours to specify.
Our full matching service is the heart of this work: bring us a broken moulding, a weathered bracket or even a single photograph, and we will replicate the profile, proportions and timber so the new piece disappears into the original. Where an original has decayed beyond copying, we work from period references and the surrounding joinery to draw up a faithful reproduction, and can advise on fixing and finishing once the piece arrives.
That work spans the whole state, from an ornate Victorian terrace in inner-city Melbourne to a Federation villa in the heritage suburbs or a farmhouse verandah in country Victoria. Restorers chasing an obscure profile and builders needing a run of custom components for a period-style build both rely on the same made-to-order approach.
As part of the Karem Woodcraft group we handle both small repairs and larger commissions, and we deliver Australia-wide from Melbourne, so authentic heritage timber components reach projects well beyond Victoria. Call 03 9720 7266 to describe what you need.
Frequently asked questions
Can you make a component you don't list on the site?
Almost certainly. We manufacture custom heritage timber components and made-to-order profiles, so if it is a timber detail on a period home we can usually make or match it.
How does the matching service work?
Send us a sample, a broken piece or a clear photo, and we will replicate the profile, proportions and timber so the new component matches your original.
Do you take on small one-off jobs?
Yes. We handle single repairs as well as larger runs, and deliver Australia-wide from our Bayswater workshop in Melbourne.
Need a custom size or a match?
We manufacture to your measurements and can match an existing profile from a photo or sample. Australia-wide delivery.
