Woodstock Winery are a family owned, South Australian business much like our own; located just outside of Adelaide in McLaren Vale. More than 20 years ago they approached us to produce a custom stand/table leg for their winery, which we were more than happy to turn and supply for them! The pieces were so unique however, that when it came time to update and replace them, they were unable to find anything similar on the market. So, more 20 years on, they returned to us once again asking us to replicate the piece.
Not only is our service first class, but now we can proudly say that our products are too! If you’ve ever visited the Qantas lounge in Brisbane airport, you may have seen some of our 40mm half dowel being used as part of a feature wall.
While our cabriole legs have always been a hit amongst our customers, I don’t think we’ve ever seen a customer quite as satisfied with the finished product as this. This very adorable, spoiled pooch is the perfect spokesperson for our cabriole legs, and his owners can attest to just how easy they were to install.
We absolutely love it when customers send us photos of their finished projects.
Once products leave our shelves we rarely know where they end up, or how they’re assembled, and from time to time it piques our curiosity. So if you, or someone you know, has purchased products from us for a job in the past (or are planning to use them in the future), we urge you to send us some snaps via email to: sales@hammersmith.com.au.
Newel posts, like the ones pictured above, are used to structurally support the end of a balustrade on a staircase. We stock a variety of posts in different styles and sizes online and in store to suit most staircases. But what if your staircase isn’t like most staircases? What if you’re building a grand staircase?
Timber dowel handrail is most commonly used on stairways and ramps, but is actually quite a versatile product. In the past, we’ve seen people using timber handrail as ballet bars in dance studios, or as a part of art projects, but we’ve never seen our handrail used quite like this before!
