Gnarly Knots designs and builds custom solid timber furniture right here in Port Macquarie and the Mid North Coast. Every piece is handmade to suit your space, your style, and how you live.
MADE JUST FOR YOU
Built by hand, one piece at a time
Gnarly Knots is a small, hands-on furniture workshop based in Port Macquarie, focused on building custom solid timber furniture with character. Every piece is designed and made in-house, from the first cut to the final finish, using quality timber and straightforward craftsmanship.
We believe good furniture should feel solid, look natural, and be made to suit real homes and real people. That means no shortcuts, no mass production, and no two pieces ever exactly the same. Just honest work, attention to detail, and furniture built to be used and enjoyed for years.
A simple, hands-on process
Ordering custom furniture doesn’t need to feel complicated. The process is simple, transparent, and handled directly with the maker — from the first conversation through to delivery.
You’ll always know what stage your piece is at, with clear communication and no unnecessary back-and-forth.

01.
Design & Planning - We work with you to shape the idea, lock in sizes, timber, finishes and make sure everything suits your space and lifestyle.
02.
Craft & Build - Hand-picked timber is cut, joined, and built with care, turning the approved design into a solid, one-of-a-kind piece.
03.
Finish & Deliver - The piece is sanded, finished, and checked over before being delivered and set in place, ready to be enjoyed for years.

HAVE QUESTIONS?
Frequently asked questions
Custom furniture comes with questions, and that’s a good thing. Below are some of the most common things we’re asked before starting a project. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, feel free to get in touch.
Do you only make custom furniture?
Yes - everything we build is made to order. Each piece is designed around your space, your needs, and your preferences rather than standard sizes or pre-made designs.
What types of furniture do you make?
We specialise in custom dining tables, coffee tables, console tables, TV units, and one-off pieces. If you have something specific in mind, we’re always happy to talk it through.
Can I choose the timber and finish?
Yes. Timber selection and finishes are part of the design process, and we’ll help guide you based on the look, durability, and how the piece will be used.
Do you deliver and install?
Yes. We offer delivery and placement for local projects, with delivery options available for surrounding areas as needed.
Do you provide quotes before starting?
Yes. Once the design and details are confirmed, we provide a clear quote before any work begins.
How long does a custom piece usually take?
Timeframes vary depending on the design and current workload, but most projects take a fw weeks from design approval to completion. We’ll always give you a clear estimate upfront.
What’s the best way to get started?
The easiest way is to get in touch and tell us a bit about what you’re thinking. From there, we can discuss options, timelines, and next steps.
