David Linton Furniture & Timberworks
Maleny
Walking through the doors of David Linton Furniture & Timberworks in Maleny is an absolute delight for the senses, and undoubtedly the best place to buy artisan timber works in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland.
The aroma of native timbers that fills the air makes you feel like you’re out enjoying some seriously good forest bathing, and the vast array of golden and chocolatey timber hues are a treat for your eyes. It’s like a big hug from nature, and just pure magic for the soul.
A master of the craft of working with timber that’s been honed across more than 35 years, David’s love of design, wood and the creation of beautiful Australian timber furniture and wooden treasures is evident across everything he turns his hand to.
A true craftsman, many of David’s pieces are created from salvaged timber that’s either locally sourced, or saved from different sites across Australia, such is his dedication to the environment and passion for his craft.
What makes a visit here even more special is its home to many other local artists’ work, across a large array of styles, mediums and applications – think sculptures, wood carvings, metalwork, solid timber furniture, timber watches, handmade jewellery and gorgeous paintings – all by artists who live nearby and across the hinterland.
Strolling around the showroom, the tables are laden with artisan craft pieces and offer something for every room in the house.
Stunningly grained and finished timber chopping boards, wooden spoons, wooden bowls, timber spatulas, wine holders and more are all perfect for the kitchen, pantry or picnic basket.
Handcrafted & unique timber furniture for the home is in abundance – from one-off, designer dining tables, stools & seats, and timber rocking chairs to benches, shelves and bedroom furniture – just for starters!
For the timber enthusiast who knows their way around their own tool shed, available for purchase is an ever-changing selection of solid timber slabs (dressed and kiln-dried), planks, burls and blocks – just waiting to be transformed through your inspiration.
To complement your home, the impressive assortment of handcrafted pottery bowls and crockery, timber photo frames, jewellery boxes and turned timber vases, and even gorgeous garden sculptures are hard to pass up on, if not for yourself then to take home as a much-appreciated and unique gift for that someone special.
So, if you're visiting Maleny, make sure you take a stroll to David Linton Furniture and Timberworks to open your mind to the possibilities of craftsmanship that comes from working with nature. You never know, you might even find your new hobby!
