Timber handles
The beauty of Wood
Timber joinery hardware brings warmth, texture and a sense of craftsmanship to kitchens and bathrooms. Whether you’re designing a contemporary home, a coastal retreat or a modern take on a classic interior, wooden handles offer a natural counterpoint to stone, tile and painted finishes.
Used thoughtfully, timber cabinet handles can soften a space, add depth, and create a tactile connection to natural materials — particularly in kitchens and bathrooms where hard surfaces often dominate.
Why Choose Wooden Hardware?
Timber handles are as practical as they are beautiful. They age gracefully, feel good in the hand, and introduce subtle variation that makes joinery feel bespoke rather than mass-produced. Available in a range of timbers, profiles and finishes, they work equally well on kitchen cabinetry, bathroom vanities, laundries and custom storage.
Timber hardware pairs especially well with:
Natural stone and porcelain benchtops
Painted or timber veneer cabinetry
Neutral, coastal or Scandinavian-inspired interiors
Contemporary homes seeking warmth without ornamentation
Natural timber finishes
At This Old House Studio, we curate timber cabinet hardware from leading Australian and international brands known for quality, consistency and thoughtful design. We supply timber joinery hardware from brands such as Kethy, Momo Handles and Castella Architectural Hardware.
Each manufacturer offers a range of timber finishes, most commonly:
Oak – Warm, character-rich oak with a honeyed grain and classic appeal. Finished in protective clear oil that accentuates natural texture and colour variation — ideal for kitchens, wardrobes and living spaces that celebrate fine materials.
Walnut – Deep chocolate walnut with expressive grain and luxurious presence. Smooth, refined, and crafted to elevate premium joinery or bespoke furniture with understated sophistication.
Unfinished Oak – Pure oak in its natural state — no stain, no lacquer, just beautifully milled timber. Ready for finishing to suit your design intent, whether you’re custom staining, oiling, or creating unique colour effects.
Various specialised Oak finishes – Selected manufacturers offer variations of Oak finishes such as ‘Natural Oak’ and ‘Charred Oak’ from Castella’s Hydrowood range. Hydrowood is a rare, reclaimed timber from Lake Pieman – each piece tells a story of craftsmanship and conservation.
Please always remember that each handle manufactured from a natural product like timber will be unique. Each piece is unique with potential variations in grain, tone, and texture.
Timber is a living material which will gently evolve over time, adding character to every space.
Caring for Timber Handles
Timber hardware celebrates the natural beauty and individuality of real wood. Each piece is unique, with distinctive grain, tone and texture shaped by the timber’s origin. As a living material, wood will gently evolve over time, developing depth and character that enhances any space.
Care Instructions:
Clean gently: Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid soaking or abrasive cleaning.
Protect from moisture: Timber can swell or warp with prolonged exposure to moisture. Avoid installation in consistently wet areas or ensure adequate protection.
Nourish occasionally: To maintain the timber’s natural warmth and appearance, apply a high-quality furniture wax or suitable wood conditioner every 6–12 months.
