Macrocarpa coffee table and side table

At Musgroves, nothing makes us prouder than seeing the creativity and craftsmanship of our customers – and this Macrocarpa transformation is a real standout.

Back in January, Leonard picked up a large, solid piece of Macrocarpa from our yard. From that single slab, he created not one but two beautiful pieces of furniture – a coffee table and a side table – with plans for a third on the way.

Here’s what Leonard did:

  • Cut the Macrocarpa into three workable sections.
  • Carefully filled natural cracks and gaps with clear epoxy resin.
  • Sanded it all back and rounded the corners for a smooth finish.
  • Applied four coats of clear benchtop oil to bring out the timber’s stunning grain.
  • Finished it off with sleek black anodised aluminium legs, custom-built using Rapidmesh components.

We love how this project blends rustic character with a modern edge – and we’re stoked that our timber was the starting point. Click through the photos to see the process from start to finish – and keep an eye out for that third table!

If you enjoyed this project, please share it on your socials, thanks!
