With all these shapes, that&#8217;s how the timber is; it doesn&#8217;t go back,&#8221; McGillivery said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Timber is very impenetrable except with water &#8211; but timber cells, once you get them hot enough, become flexible.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a lot about the preparation. It can be quite involved, creating a jig to bend it around can be quite complex; it all depends on what you need.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-100921\" src=\"https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/IMG_6871_10495-9.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p>His first design was the &#8220;Ocean drop&#8221; pendant light.<\/p>\n<p>Made to hang from a ceiling or to be fixed on a wall, the smooth, steam-bent curves subtly imitate a falling drop of water and have the beauty of a simple yet refined design.<\/p>\n<p>Timber Technik has since expanded to several similarly maritime-influenced lighting designs &#8211; which can be made to order in various sizes &#8211; as well as furniture.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s typical that people put them in a stairwell &#8211; they&#8217;re decorative lights, they&#8217;re more about making a statement and being a feature in the home,&#8221; McGillivery said.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-100878\" src=\"https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/IMG_6916_35987-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The business uses mostly reclaimed timber, from salvage sites or from demolitions.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It has to be a certain quality for steam bending, so we&#8217;re just looking for something interesting or a bit different,&#8221; McGillivery said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve used timber from the old Geelong whisky distillery recently; we bought Kauri pine timber from there. From 1920 to 1980 it was the biggest distillery in the Southern Hemisphere, apparently.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;With reclaimed timber, there&#8217;s always a history and a story behind it, and the story is a talking point for the light.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-100914\" src=\"https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/IMG_6880_62867-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve got a new timber supplier in the Otways, and he&#8217;s got a licence for harvesting fallen logs, so that&#8217;s cool as well.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And we use Hydrowood from Tasmania, which is a salvage timber &#8211; all the really nice Tassie timber is salvaged from the bottom of lakes, so there&#8217;s no forestry footprint.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He said the past three years of the COVID-19 pandemic had not hit the business particularly hard, and even allowed him to keep his hand in by returning to his shipwright days.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We actually had a bit more time to do some more developing, and we built a dinghy, but it didn&#8217;t affect us too much.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-100923 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/IMG_6881_87357-7-600x380.jpg?_t=1681968455\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"380\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re still launching this, and we&#8217;d like to see it grow.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He hoped Timber Technik&#8217;s products would make the art of steam bending more accessible and available to the wider market.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s one thing to have a boat, but not everybody has a boat, or wants a boat, or uses a boat, but if you can use some of that craftsmanship in a house, that&#8217;s pretty cool.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For more information on Timber Technik, head to <a href=\"http:\/\/timbertechnik.com\">timbertechnik.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong><em>\/\/ Sponsored Content<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After nearly two decades crafting ships, Vaughan McGillivery has turned his talents towards brighter pursuits.
