Chunky Timber co - for the most beautiful wooden beads

I source my beautiful wooden beads from Chunky Timber Co, located in Western Australia's Goldfields.

I love and appreciate that every bead had a previous life!

Here is Chunky's story...

Kim "Chunky" Gent found his passion for woodwork in the Goldfields over 20 years ago and has called Kalgoorlie Boulder home ever since. 

His craft is a celebration and appreciation of the great western woodlands, with each creation expertly made to fit the timber. Chunky collects and breathes new life into waste woods, capturing and embracing the character to create truly one of a kind pieces. 

Using reclaimed timber, in addition to his zero waste policy means no piece of wood goes to waste. Every piece that enters the workshop leaves with a second life, right down to the scraps and offcuts which are turned into his signature "Nullarbor Beads".

Reducing the footprint, passing on the passion and creating pieces to last a lifetime are the key foundations of Chunky Timber Co.
