What are the Different Types of Firewood?

The winter season can be quite harsh, and you will need a lot of timber to keep your family comfortable. No doubt, there are now different types of heaters available that do not require timber, but if you have a wood heater, then you need to choose the best variety of wood to burn. Luckily, Australia is quite big, and you can find a diverse variety of timber here. So, let's move on to the top options available to you.

Best varieties of wood to burn

Let's check out the most popular and available variety around the country. So you can decide what is the most appropriate timber for your wood heater.

• Jarrah

It is the most common variety and the most sought-after eucalyptus hardwood available for home heating. The most beneficial advantage of using this type of wood is there will be no traces of ash or smoke. Thus, it is an ideal solution for your home. Further jarrah is readily available in port metro areas. So you can easily buy dry jarrah firewood in Perth at local stores or even online and get doorstep delivery of the same.

• White gum

Commonly known as wandoo, it is quite a heavier and dense hardwood. Not to mention, it is also a common eucalyptus firewood variety in Australia. As it is quite dense in its nature, it will burn hotter and slower. Here, using it along with jarrah can be extremely beneficial as you will get less smoke, but the flame will last longer.

• Sugar gum

This variety is a plantation-derived hardwood that originated in South Australia. It is the perfect solution for joinery, building and furniture making. However, as it is dense, slow-growing, and heavy to handle, it is not generally preferred for firewood. During the past years, rural farms used this variety for fencing and firewood. But these days, it is mostly used for decorative projects like polished doors, floors and cabinetry. It has to be of extremely low grade to be used in the firewood category.

• River red gum

Since colonial times, this variety of wood has proved to be quite a versatile timber. With many applications as a firewood, it works the best for combustion wood heaters. However, as it has a low flame, it might not be an effective option for open fire. Just so you know, it is quite a common firewood and is found in abundance.

• Ironbark

It is not a single variant as such, but it is a family of multiple types. Generally, they are associated with the term. The common ones here include red and grey ironbark. They are mostly found in the South Wales down into Victoria and other areas as well. It is yet another excellent combustion type of firewood that is available in abundance for those who are living in the region.

• Grey box

It is yet another variety of hardwood with numerous eucalyptus varieties and names. It is commonly found in New South Wales and Queensland. Although it was not so popular previously, it has gained great recognition over the years.

Now that you know the different varieties of firewood available, it is important that you consider researching them deeply and preferring dry wood. It's the only way you will be able to ensure the fireplace lasts long and you get adequate warmth. You can consider trying out different varieties to pick the right one. Just make sure that you always prefer dry wood, as it helps avoid excessive combustion and smoke. Also, it will burn easily.

Conclusion

Picking the right variety of firewood is extremely important. Of all the options available above, jarrah happens to be the most widely used and preferred for combustion purposes. But you have to be careful here and compare to find a store that can provide you with the best quality of firewood. To ease things you can trust JJ’s Firewood Supplies. They have all varieties of firewood available to them. They can provide you with a fast doorstep delivery of wood as required. Not to mention, the cost is highly affordable. So, you can now forget about carrying wood from the store to your home. They are here to make things easy.

Hey Pia! Hope you're well (very new reader here).

I gather that you live in quite a rural area (?) what do you like about living there? What is the flora/fauna like? I'm from the UK and haven't really experienced other climates so I'm interested heh

˶‘ ᵕ ‘˶

Hi hi anon!

I'm in what's classified as 'semi-rural' here in Western Australia, but basically it means that I am smack in the middle of dense suburbia, and then 10 minutes away from farmland and bushland on all sides, lol.

It's weird! Because it means we have a lot of amenities close by (though no hospitals or emergency care, they're all around 30-60 minutes away), but it also means when we travel out of the suburb, we often see kangaroos or alternatively alpacas and sheep (there's a lot of fleece farms up this way).

The weather here is actually quite Mediterranean (literally, Perth is classed as a 'Hot-summer Mediterranean climate' in the Koppen system). We can go months without rain. And we get around 139 clear days per year (no cloud cover), which means we're one of the sunniest capital cities in the world (to my endless dismay).

As to the animals *thinks* it's fairly normal to see kangaroos around here, at large parks and on farmland and clearings in bushland, and sometimes on the side of busy roads (which is not great). They are most common at dawn and at dusk. We also used to see wild emus for a while, but that was a few years ago, and I think this area is now too built up for it!

There are lots of parrots, and they're probably the most common birds we see, outside of like doves, Australian magpies (they are not Corvids), Australian ravens (they are Corvids), and birds of prey. The most common parrots we get up here are Carnaby's cockatoos, rainbow lorikeets, corellas, and pink & grey galahs. We also have a decent population of wood ducks, lol. And a lot of small songbirds. We get a lot of singing honeyeaters and brown honeyeaters in our garden.

Most of our trees aren't deciduous, so they keep their leaves all year round. And Eucalyptus are flowering trees. Right now all the jarrah trees are flowering all at the same time, with puffy huge white and cream blossoms, turning the bushland into the sound of lazy buzzing. Every day this week will be over 36C, so we make sure our birdbath is full, and the birds do actually use it. We have a garden, and I have mostly native plants in there, as well as some pots with curry plant (karapincha) and lemongrass, as well as rosemary, thyme and lavender.

When the weather is hot and there's clouds in the sky, we get the most amazing sunsets. My userpic is of a sunset that happened in my back garden.

These, for example, were all taken in the back garden:

And this is what most of the surrounding bushland around us looks like in summer:

Outdoor Dining Tables in Perth: Enjoying Al Fresco Dining in Style

Perth, Australia, with its stunning weather and picturesque landscapes, provides the perfect backdrop for outdoor dining. One of the key elements of creating a memorable outdoor dining experience is choosing the right outdoor dining table. Whether you're hosting a weekend barbecue, a family gathering, or a romantic dinner under the stars, Perth offers a wide range of outdoor dining tables to suit your style and needs.

Perth's Outdoor Dining Cultur

Perth is known for its vibrant outdoor dining culture. The city's residents and visitors alike cherish the opportunity to dine outside, taking advantage of the mild climate and breathtaking views. Whether it's by the beach, in a lush garden, or on a charming patio, outdoor dining is a popular pastime in Perth. And at the heart of this culture are the outdoor dining tables that provide the perfect setting for these experiences.

Materials Matter: Choosing the Right Outdoor Dining Table

When selecting an outdoor dining table in Perth, it's essential to consider the local climate and the materials used. Perth experiences a Mediterranean climate, characterized by warm, dry summers and mild winters. This climate makes it ideal for outdoor living, but it also means that outdoor furniture needs to be resilient and durable to withstand the elements.

Timber Tables: Timber outdoor dining tables are a popular choice in Perth. They bring a natural warmth and timeless appeal to outdoor spaces. However, it's essential to choose hardwoods like teak or jarrah, as they are naturally resistant to decay and can withstand Perth's climate. Regular maintenance, such as sealing and oiling, will help prolong the life of your timber table.

Aluminum Tables: Aluminum outdoor dining tables are lightweight and corrosion-resistant, making them an excellent choice for coastal areas in Perth. They are also easy to maintain and can be powder-coated in various colors and finishes to match your outdoor decor.

Wicker or Rattan Tables: Wicker or rattan outdoor dining tables have a tropical and relaxed feel, perfect for creating a beachside or resort-style atmosphere. These materials are woven around aluminum frames, ensuring durability and resistance to moisture.

Concrete Tables: Concrete outdoor dining tables are gaining popularity for their modern and industrial aesthetics. They are robust and weather-resistant, making them suitable for Perth's outdoor spaces. Plus, they can be customized with various finishes and colors to match your style.

Composite Tables: Composite materials, such as polywood or resin, offer the look of wood without the maintenance hassles. These tables are durable, weather-resistant, and easy to clean, making them a practical choice for Perth's outdoor dining areas.

Stainless Steel Tables: Stainless steel outdoor dining tables are sleek and modern. They are highly resistant to corrosion, making them suitable for coastal regions like Perth. Their minimalist design can complement a range of outdoor decor styles.

Size and Space Consideration

Before purchasing an outdoor dining table in Perth, it's crucial to consider the size of your outdoor space and how you plan to use it. Here are some key factors to keep in mind:

Table Size: Ensure that the table size you choose can comfortably accommodate your guests. A general rule of thumb is to allow 24 to 30 inches of table space per person. For example, a table that seats six should have a width of at least 72 inches.

Seating Arrangement: Think about the type of seating you want to pair with your outdoor dining table. Perth offers a variety of outdoor chairs, benches, and even outdoor sofas that can be mixed and matched to create a unique and comfortable seating arrangement.

Space Around the Table: Allow enough space for guests to move around the table freely. A clearance of at least 36 inches between the table edge and any nearby obstacles, such as walls or other furniture, is recommended.

Shade and Protection: Consider whether your outdoor dining area needs shade or protection from the sun. Perth's summers can be scorching, so options like umbrellas or pergolas with retractable canopies can provide relief from the heat.

Storage: If you plan to leave your outdoor dining table outside year-round, consider storage options or covers to protect it during the wetter months of Perth's winter.

Design and Style Choices

Outdoor dining tables in Perth come in a wide range of designs and styles, allowing you to express your personal taste and create a cohesive outdoor aesthetic. Here are some popular styles to consider:

Modern and Minimalist: Clean lines, sleek surfaces, and neutral colors define modern outdoor dining tables. They work well in contemporary outdoor spaces.

Rustic and Natural: For a more rustic and natural look, opt for timber or wicker tables. These materials add warmth and texture to your outdoor area.

Coastal and Beachy: If you're near the coast, embrace a coastal-inspired style with whitewashed furniture, blue accents, and beach-themed decor.

Elegant and Formal: Create an elegant outdoor dining space with ornate cast aluminum or wrought iron tables paired with comfortable, cushioned chairs.

Bohemian and Eclectic: Mix and match different styles, colors, and patterns to create a bohemian and eclectic outdoor dining experience.

Contemporary and High-Tech: Some outdoor dining tables come with built-in features like Bluetooth speakers, LED lighting, and even built-in coolers for drinks, perfect for those who love a high-tech approach to outdoor living.

Conclusion: Creating Memorable Outdoor Dining Experiences in Perth

Outdoor Dining Tables Perth culture is a testament to the city's love for its natural beauty and pleasant climate. To fully embrace this culture, choosing the right outdoor dining table is essential. Consider factors like materials, size, space, and style to create a dining area that suits your preferences and complements the stunning outdoor landscapes Perth has to offer. Whether you opt for a sleek modern design, a cozy rustic setting, or a coastal-inspired oasis, your outdoor dining table will be at the heart of memorable gatherings with friends and family under the Western Australian sun or stars.

Spent Black Streamers

As a boy, I spent long summer days on my grandparents’ wheat and sheep farm  on the Dale River, about 1 1/2 hours drive over the Darling Range from Perth.

It was hot and baked dry with yellowed stubble covering the rolling granite hills. The trees that dotted the landscape were predominantly large dead silvered skeletal remains, with axe marks on their trunks from the efficient “ring barking” that had killed them.

We caught koonacs in the smelly dam water with sheep pellets as bait, the ubiquitous bush flies coating us.

Crows, black and garrulous, croak and call, the noise flat and hard in the heat.

My grandmother is part of this landscape, in her faded cotton shirt (the pattern now indiscernible and sun bleached) and worn nondescript flat-soled leather shoes, squinting against the sunlight. 

Dor Dor, (as known to her then tribe of grandsons) was as practical a solution, to the demands of eking an existence in the Australian bush, as there ever was. I suppose she was tough, but I don’t remember her that way. She fed us stewed fruit, paddock picked mushrooms, homemade tomato chutney, lemon curd, pan fried sheep’s brains, chops and kangaroo fry. We thought she excelled at dessert - and the broken up stale bread covered in cream and milk with a topping of fig jam was my personal favourite!

She raised turkeys and chooks. Free range, before the politically “woke” knew what free range was. They scratched amongst the dead grass and wood heaps, away from the chicken wire and corrugated iron enclosure that was a night time sanctuary from foxes. 

Like some totemic offering, the chook yard wire was hung with desiccated bird bones and the spent black streamers of tattered crow feathers. A warning. For as the turkeys scratched in the dirt, gobbling excitedly, and the chooks fluffed in the dust, the eggs in the chook yard lay unprotected. 

The crows with their unrelenting caws, are also unrepentant recidivist egg thieves. The bright orange yolk an elixir. Several magnitudes better than their usual fare of picked over lamb’s carcasses and unlucky grasshoppers. 

Their raids are opportunistic. As the alarming gobbles of the fan tailed turkeys disappear across the hill toward the manna of spilled grain under the silos, the crows gather along the top of the enclosure. Unbalanced, on the thin galvanized piece of fencing wire, wings stretching out like awkward trapeze artists they are ready for an easy swoop down into the laying boxes.

Dor Dor fiercely loved her family and her poultry by extension. They were part of the world that existed and was given succor by my grandmother to feed a multitude of adults and children. She did a roaring trade in turkeys at Christmas time, with farmer's wives putting in their orders each year (I remember the little tomahawk, the chopping block and the signature stench of boiled feathers). And the chooks she fed and called and culled, as required to satisfy family demands for both eggs and meat. 

The crows were not part of this world.

The 410 shotgun was loaded out of the gun-shy crows’ sight, behind the grey jarrah picket fence of the house yard. Double barreled. It was light and considered a lady’s gun. Not as heavy as a 12 gauge. Perfect for dispatching snakes and vermin around the house. 

The crows, whilst engaged in the orgiastic fervor of breaking open as many eggs as avianly possible, weren’t thinking about Dor Dor as she strode purposely through the yellowed grass. Or her 410. 

I remember, her long fingers twitching wire around another crow’s leathery limp black legs, affixing it to the fence. The bright glossy blue black feathers hanging down askew and akimbo, the dead glass of its eye, watching me.

Glancing up to the sky revealed a vast expansion of stars, the milky way shining brightly through the olive-green leaves that were casting shadows across the clearing. Night had fallen. Her companion sent a single glance her way before returning to his fire. It gave her a moment to study the man - or boy? His face looked young, as young as hers, but with a sorrow and weary exhaustion that was most certainly reflected on her own face. He was sitting on a chunk of wood, legs drawn up close around his body. While the fire added a rather unearthly quality to the land around her, it danced across his tanned face, reflecting off of clear, sky blue eyes. 

His hair was tied back with a worn hairtie, keeping all but a few wayward dark strands off of his face. The clothes seemed to hang on his frame - not due to illness or malnutrition, but, most likely because they had been stolen. They simply looked too large.  An old hunting rifle and cleaning cloth were propped up against a backpack that lay off to the side.

Slowly, she emerged from the swag, looking around as she stood. She wasn't entirely at ease, nor did she trust this unknown stranger, but he had taken the time to pull her from the road and wait until she had woken. That spoke more to her than anything. 

"...Greetings." Her words were soft, raspy. Although, that was more from a lack of water than anything else. He inclined his head towards her, acknowledging her presence, but saying nothing else. She sighed, quietly, to herself. Well. "May I ask where we are?"

A grunt and a soft laugh, and the man motioned to a upturned log near him. "How are you feeling?"

That caused her to huff, but she made her way over. She felt weak, shaky; too many days of pushing herself and not enough looking after her own welfare. Collapsing against the log, she scrubbed her face with the palm of her left hand. "Like utter shit, if you'll excuse my language."

The man let out a roar of a laugh at that, and it seemed to rattle around inside his chest before bursting out. "Such proper speech! No, don't excuse yourself," He waved a hand around absentmindedly, "I swear far too much myself, regardless."

She laughed a little then, relaxing more against the log. "How long have I been unconscious for?"

"Just a couple of hours. But that begs the question." He turned more fully towards her, fixing her with an intense, clear gaze, scrutinising. "What were you doing, overland? Alone, as well! Haven't you heard the news?"

She blinked, confused, before shaking her head. The man raised an eyebrow before continuing on. "I suppose you haven't then. There's a new band of raiders. They've made their camp, just east of Pinjarra. The hills are infested with them, and they've begun their way south. I've heard that their leader has their eye on taking over the Southern Forrests."

That made her shoot to her feet, before wobbling alarmingly. "I- I have to go back!" She whipped her head around to look at the man, who was looking rather concerned, with drawn brows and narrowed eyes. "Do you know how far south they've gotten? I've travelled all this way without encountering anyone- well, anyone asides from now."

"Sit."

"What? I have-"

"Please sit. You've been unconscious for a fair few hours now; what good can you do, like this? Sit, and I'll tell you what I know."

With a pained, labouring sigh, she brought herself back down to her seat. The man nodded, to himself, once, before continuing. "Now, I'm taking it that you hail from the Forrests?"

She paused, before nodding once. "I'm... from the city. But yes. My brother and I hail from the Forrests. The Jarrah Forrest, along the Blackwood river. That's... well..." Burying her head in her hands, she fought against the rising heat behind her eyes and in her throat. Taking a deep breath to steel herself, she chanced a look upwards at the man, who's eyes were softening. But there was also an underlying edge of confusion.

"Which city, if I might ask?"

She quirked a brow. "The city?" 

The man's eyes widened as he stared. It took a moment before he spoke again, but this time, it was with great awe. "It had been some time since I've met one of your kind. I thought that all city dwellers were long gone."

"What on earth are you talking about? My 'kind?' As far as I am concerned, we are all human, and therefore, all equal."

He held out a hand, placating. "I apologise. I meant no offence. Most travellers I meet nowadays are from the northern deserts, the east country or the southern forests. There are quite a few rumours about people who lived in the city," He laughed, turning his eyes skywards, "I am not too sure about how true these rumours are, but they still fill me with awe." He shook his head. "Please, take no notice of me. Now. The bandits. From what I have heard from my friends down by the coast, the bandits have reached the old Margret River, and are heading for the Forrests from there."

There... there was no time. She was too far north. She would never be able to reach the settlement in time. 

A firm hand patted her shoulder, in empathy. "Don't give up hope. Word travels slower nowadays than what it once did, but I am sure that your settlement will catch wind of what is happening before they reach your home. If you don't mind me asking, but which overland path did you travel by? It must have been a fair bit inland if you didn't meet any travellers on the road."

"I... I came through the old Albany Highway, but I cut through Narrogin. There's nothing there now, but I have a few friends that live out that way on their farms. I needed more supplies. I was just heading towards York... but I suppose I'm not going to make it now. I'll have to cut through the lesser dead lands."

That was met with silence. And a look of, honestly warranted, shock. The city of Perth was most often called "The Dead Lands," and were split into different regions. The 'lesser' dead lands was often used to refer to the southern lands, while 'larger' was normally used to refer to the northern lands. Minor and major were also used, but the terms had become less commonly used in recent years. The 'city dead lands' referred to the hulking shell of the city itself, and was where the most danger was concentrated. She was not planning on entering the city itself; only the outskirts. Even the edge of the once sprawling city was dangerous enough to deter most scavengers; not to say that nobody had tried. Far too many had died. 

It took nearly three, long minutes before the man had gathered himself together enough to speak. "You..." He sighed, shaking his head. "You must have a very good reason for cutting through the lesser dead lands. Do... you mind if I ask why?"

It was her turn to be silent, after that. What good would it do, refusing to tell the man? He had offered her more help within the past few hours than she had received from strangers in the past year. Fighting to keep her voice steady, she fixed her view on the crackling, merry fire. "My brother is dying. The healer- an old aged-care carer - believes that he had something bacterial. She's quarantined him, which I understand, but she's wrong in her assessment. She's stubborn, and won't listen to me.  I'm trying to find some anti-viral medications. It's... it's my brother's only hope."

The man winced, reaching out to brush his fingers against her shoulder. "That sounds like a shit situation, if you don't mind my language."

That wrought a wretched laugh from her that quickly turned into a sob. "That's certainly one word for it."  

"I'm assuming that you are a healer yourself? You seem confident in your assessment of your brother's illness."

Waving a hand and snorting, she turned back to the man. "We do have some limited supplies back at the Forrest; it's just, the healer treating my brother believes that he has cholera, and we'd already exhausted our supply of antibiotics. It is... unusual for such a disease to be in the South - we do have reasonably good hygiene standards and waste disposal - but," she gave a jagged, almost broken laugh, "can someone really expect the old conventions to apply? Our world has already changed so much in such a short amount of time; who are we to say that other things haven't changed also? But no. I don't believe he has cholera. The camp would be overrun otherwise."

He fixed her with a intense, searching gaze before giving a short laugh. "You seem to be fairly knowledgeable for someone so young. That'll serve you well." He raised a brow at her incredulous gaze, before laughing again. "Come, don't take offence! It was a compliment."

She snorted, a rather ungangly sound, before flicking her eye back to the fire, melancholic. "You seem quite young yourself."

"I'd imagine that we are close to the same age, yes. I may be a bit older, though, but it is hard to tell nowadays." He smiled, again. "I am nineteen."

Her eyes did shoot upwards at that. He was older than her, yes, but still so young! He laughed, loudly then, at her surprise. "Did you think I was older? Well, I told you my age. How old are you, if I might ask?"

"...I'm sixteen; seventeen in winter." Now it was his turn to look surprised. "And you decided to travel overland by yourself?" His look turned sheepish at her flat glare. "My apologies. That was inconsiderate."

She sighed, shaking her head. "No, don't apologise. I'm worried. And tired. And stressed." 

"I suppose that is fair." They both trailed off into silence before he burst into that loud, roaring laughter again, startling her from her log. "How ill mannered of me! We've been talking this long, and I haven't offered my name." Turning to her, he offered a dirt-caked hand, covered in scars and grime. "I am James, of the Northern Gibson Desert. I am a mechanic by trade, but I also help in hunting, retrievals and other odd jobs when needed."

(It was common, or, at least, becoming more common, to introduce oneself by stating their name and place they hailed from.)

She shook James' hand in greeting, quirking a smile at his laugh. It was infectious. "I didn't offer my name either. I am Catherine, of the Jarrah Forrest. I am a healer by trade, although I work in infrastructure and other areas from time to time." She paused for a moment as his words registered. "The Northern Gibson Desert?! What on earth are you doing this far down south?"

The laugh reappeared. "Do all travellers sound this surprised? Yes, that is where I hail from. My settlement is just south of the old town of Nallagine, although I doubt that you have heard of it." He smirked at the shake of her head. "Yes, most haven't. I was hoping to talk to the leaders of the Hills and the Eastern Farms in the hopes of establishing a trade route with some of the settlements in the north. My settlement is rather small, and I was the only person with the necessary skills to survive the trip. Then, I heard of the problems that bandits were causing, and I thought I would stay a while and see what I could do to help." He motioned to his pack, sitting forlornly off to the side. "I have spent the better part of three months couriering letters between settlements, and helping better their defences amongst other things. The attacks have been getting worse."

"I had not heard of it being so bad." She shook her head, sighing sadly. "That being said; bandits have always been a problem in the south, and we have not been in communication with the other settlements for a number of months. Oh, don't look so surprised! People are scared to travel, and most settlements are self sufficient; we haven't had a need to communicate. I have the most experience in my settlement in travelling asides from my brother - and I'm sixteen!" She gave a disgruntled huff, glaring into the fire. It was idiotic, how her settlement leaders refused to teach people the skills to survive in their world. What if they were displaced? What then?

"You are well travelled, then?"

She jerked her head in a nod. "Yes, I have travelled to quite a few places in my time. I suppose that was why I was not as concerned about travelling alone. My brother and I decided to travel around before settling at the Forrest. How far have I travelled?" She mused to herself, recollecting her thoughts. "As far north as Port Headland, my father's old town, up the old Great Northern Highway. The most easterly point I have reached is the Eastern farmlands near Kalgoolie- and, of course, the most southern point has been Albany."

Don’t forget the west: mid-century modern and David Foulkes Taylor

https://images.theconversation.com/files/56965/original/w6tfnyjg-1408581081.jpg?ixlib=rb-1.1.0&q=45&auto=format&w=496&fit=clip

Why has David Foulkes Taylor again been left out of the history of mid-century Australian design? Ted Snell

In 1982, I wrote an introduction to a survey exhibition of the work of Western Australian furniture designer David Foulkes Taylor lamenting that so little attention had “… been directed towards the recording of art and culture in Western Australia” – despite an upsurge in publications on Australian art history. The exhibition and catalogue documenting Foulkes Taylor’s contribution was an attempt to redress that oversight.

David Foulkes Taylor in 1965.

Sadly that effort seems to have failed. Kirsty Grant, the curator of the current Mid-Century Modern: Australian furniture design exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV), has omitted any reference to Foulkes Taylor’s work. His contribution to creating an appetite for modern design in Western Australia does not rate a mention. The exhibition and its substantial catalogue present a comprehensive survey of modern furniture design in Sydney and Melbourne from the second world war till the 1970s – but it is disappointing that such a misleading tagline was appended.

In a truly national survey you would expect to see some coverage of David Foulkes Taylor. The NGV publication makes no mention of any activity past the 129th meridian east longitude. The curator does note that her survey is “selective in its focus and with an emphasis on activities in Melbourne and Sydney”. Still, it’s hard to reconcile how emphasis can condone an omission on this scale.

It would have been more accurate to borrow from the show’s predecessor at the Queensland Art Gallery last year, California Design 1930–1965: Living in a Modern Way, and abandon the aspiration to present a nation-wide survey.

To set the record straight, Foulkes Taylor not only designed some important examples of modern furniture, but he also encouraged local manufacturers Charles and Roy Catt to build mass-produced jarrah furniture that had a lasting presence in the local market.

Influenced as a student at the Central School of Art in London by the light and delicate lines of Italian designers like Gio Ponti, on his return to Perth he modified his response to suit the available conditions. He had a passion for the native jarrah timber. Hard but brittle, the wood required a more robust treatment. Foulkes Taylor’s work presented a more sculptural form while concurrently highlighting the richness of the colour and grain.

David Foulkes Tayor’s Poona chair. Ted Snell

Commissions for University House at the University of Western Australia and private clients followed. His inventiveness led him to explore other materials such as tubular steel and to respond inventively to external influences.

This experimental approach led to his adaption of a British army demountable chair, which he called the Poona. His canvas, leather and jarrah chair came in kit form and was described in The Age on October 12 1959 as “…resurrected and revamped by the brilliant Perth designer David Foulkes Taylor and is sold (£15) by Andersons in Chapel Street”.

In the 1950s he almost single-handedly created an appetite for modern design in Perth by importing work by international designers such as Marimekko, Arabia, Alvo Alto and Marcel Breuer and showing local artists and designers in his home and later in a purpose-built modernist showroom. This was designed by Julius Elischer and opened in 1965.

Showroom designed by Julius Elischer. Ted Snell

While a student at Geelong Grammar, Foulkes Taylor’s art teacher had been Ludwig Hirschfeld Mack, who taught a curriculum based on his experience as a student at the Bauhaus and later teacher at the University of Craft and Architecture in Weimar. That early introduction to modernist design and the principle of economy of form inspired him throughout his life. In his showroom he combined the best in Scandinavian and Japanese design with his own furniture, creating a magnet for those attracted to the rising tide of internationalism that was sweeping Perth into the 20th century.

The former country town was shedding its husk and taking on the role of international city. Perth was in the spotlight. With the modernist Council House designed by Jeffrey Howlett and [Don Bailey](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Bailey_(architect) rising up from St Georges Terrace, Howard Taylor’s murals in the newly completed Passenger Terminal in Fremantle and new modernist buildings completed to house Commonwealth Games athletes, it was necessary for the citizens of this revived city to look modern too; to buy new furniture, lamps and fabrics and art by local artists.

The place to buy was David Foulkes Taylor’s white showroom on Broadway, and many did.

Foulkes Taylor’s tragic death in a car accident in 1966 ended the contribution of this inspired designer and impassioned advocate for modern design. It is unfortunate his contribution is not acknowledged alongside Grant Featherstone, Clement Meadmore, Wolfgang Sievers, Fred Ward and the other great Australian designers listed in Mid-Century Modern.

Ted Snell does not work for, consult, own shares in or receive funding from any company or organization that would benefit from this article, and has disclosed no relevant affiliations beyond their academic appointment.

hisHello Updaters and Renovators, This month I want to talk about reusing wood. This latest project that Damian and I took on we call our “Bus Stop”.  It began when my brother and his wife decided to renovate their 50-year-old house. As they only live about 5 minutes away (and because we have acreage), our property was used as the “local holding ground” for anything that was too good to throw away. As you can see we ended up with the majority of his old roof battens and front patio poles which were all jarrah.

Jarrah wood battens

I know that there are many abled woodworkers out there in the world that can craft just about anything from wood, but let me reiterate that Damian and I are not one of those people, we are more what you would call amateurs. Though in saying that Damian has most of the woodworking tools and flair when it comes to making tables or cabinets; plus he uses rulers, set squares and chisels like a professional. Not me, I use guestimation, tenacity and I use every tool in the shed and possibly some of the kitchen utensils if it helps.  It frustrates my hubby to no end, but I still get the job done, even if its what he calls “The Sognia way!’

Just to prove to you all that I have made useful things from pallets and old wine barrels in the past.

I had a big vision for this seated area, and I used several pictures that I had seen on the internet, but we had to incorporate our own needs.

We wanted a bench seating about five meters long.

Preferably with a back on it that blocked out the road but still allowed us to see the main gate.

I also wanted some type of shade over the seating area.

This was the most significant issue I wanted shade. Otherwise what the point of having a bench in the scorching Perth sun? We toyed with the idea of putting up a shade sail afterwards, but we might turn the water feature into a fire pit one day, so that ruled that out. Damian despises freestanding slatted pergolas, he thinks they are a waste of time if there isn’t any protection like a roof over it so that idea was thrown out abruptly.

So the banter went back n forth between Damian and me of why we couldn’t just hurry up and start the bloody thing. I didn’t think we needed a detailed technical plan drawn to scale. That wasn’t how I built stuff!  So while I waited forever for him to come up with a design that we both liked. I had already de-nailed and planed both sides of the planks ready for their use…In the meantime got bored and decided to make two bench seats for our front patio area.

Pine and Jarrah Bench

After a few weeks finally, we had come up with a plan that we both agreed on.

Damian made the five uprights in the shed using the recycled patio poles. Using our tractor we call BIG RED we lifted them into place and cemented these into the ground. We steadied these with stringers and left them for a week while hubby flew back to work. On his return, we started slatting the uprights with the de-nailed and planed roof battens. This took a lot of time not only as these pieces were about 4-5 meters long but we couldn’t just put these up willy-nilly (like I would’ve done). Damian had a method to is madness, and I am glad he did as it saved on excess cutting as well as wood. Even though by looking at the original pile we ONLY just made it with NO battens to spare

AFTER: Jarrah pergola seat

We added wire to the back of the structure as we have an out of control passionfruit vine that grows fruit the size of mangos.  All up, once the plan was drawn and agreed upon it took about two weeks for me to de-nail and plane a few planks each day, a week to make the uprights and let the cement footings cure. About two weeks of slatting the structure and a few days of applying several coats of varnish.

Below are the pictures that are taken from our kitchen window looking up the driveway through the slatted wall, hence why we call it the Bus Stop.

Thank you, I hope you have been inspired. Till next time happy updating and renovating.
