Environmental sustainability.
Choosing native timber means supporting sustainable forestry practices. Unlike imported woods, native timbers are harvested locally, reducing the carbon footprint associated with transportation. At Sunrise Furniture, all our timber is from recycled sources. We have close relationships with land owners in WA’s South West where fallen trees or logs cleared off private land is used for our value added process. None of the old growth forest is touched or consumed for our furniture making. This is beneficial for many reasons:
- Long term sustainability: because all our logs come from a recycled source, the forests of WA will remain vibrant and protected.
- Reduced Carbon Footprint: Local sourcing minimizes transportation emissions. This means less pollution compared to imported woods.
- Biodiversity Support: Native forests are home to diverse ecosystems. By supporting native timber, you're helping preserve these habitats.

Each piece of native timber furniture is a work of art, boasting unique grain patterns and colour variations. This uniqueness will enhance your home's aesthetic and put simply look amazing.
- Distinctive Grain Patterns: Native WA timbers such as Jarrah and Marri feature rich, varied grains that add character to any piece. The timber is itself art.
