Hunter Valley homes and businesses — from country estates in Pokolbin, to family residences in Maitland and Cessnock, to cellar doors and hospitality venues — demand joinery that fit exact room dimensions with timber species and finishes suited to Australian living. SteepWood services Hunter Valley from our Newcastle workshop — ~45 minutes — with the design literacy of a premium boutique joiner and the pricing flexibility of Hunter-based manufacturing.
Every piece starts with a conversation. We ask about your room, your lifestyle, and your taste — and we show you timber samples, finish options, and joinery details before a single board is cut. Our custom furniture is made entirely in Newcastle by skilled joiners who take pride in the craft: hand-fitted dovetail joints, book-matched timber panels, and surfaces finished to a standard you simply cannot find in a furniture chain.
Commercial projects: cellar door fitouts, restaurant joinery, B&B and accommodation cabinetry.

We work with a range of Australian and imported hardwoods, including Tasmanian oak, Victorian ash, Spotted Gum, Blackbutt, American oak, and walnut. Each species has its own character: the pale, straight grain of Tasmanian oak suits coastal and contemporary spaces; the rich caramel tones of Spotted Gum bring warmth to traditional homes; American oak and walnut appeal to those who want a more refined, European aesthetic. We also source reclaimed and recycled timber for clients who want the history and character of aged wood in a new piece.

Every project is designed and manufactured in our Newcastle workshop using premium Laminex, Polytec, 2pac, stone, and Blum hardware.
