The idea of May House Timber was created by Bao Nguyen, who has been working as Mechanical Designer engineer since 2011*. In 2016, Bao got invited to finish his Honours in Production Design at RMIT university in order to enlarge his vision of design. Throughout these years of work, creation, and evaluation of many design concepts, it comes to the fascinating fact that woodworking has naturally become his greatest passion. Together with his wife Anh Nguyen, who graduated as creative art designer from LaTrobe University**, May House Timber was founded based on the concept of sustainable and recyclable materials. Once it was started as a passion, forever it will be. And since aspiration can bring joy to people, then it becomes our life mission.

*Qualification: Honours Mechanical Engineering & Production Design;
Bachelor of Aerospace & Automotive Engineering.

**Qualification: Bachelor of Creative Arts;
Diploma of Mass Media and Communication. Learn more about us and our furniture on our website 🌳https://mayhouse.com.au/🪵

Seven years of memories down, a lifetime more to go. 🪵✨

Nearly a decade down the track and finding out their custom piece is still deeply loved! 💛

Our hearts are warmed by a lovely note from a client 📮letting us know that the table we poured our souls into 7️⃣years ago is still standing proud and strong! 🏡✨

We took a trip down memory lane looking at this table today 🛣️remembering the day this absolute beauty rolled out of the workshop 🪵🌿

This massive square table was built to be the ultimate gathering hub🍻🍜🍾

Square tables have this magical, hearty way of making everyone feel connected, no head of the table, just good food 🍝great wine 🍷 and endless conversation shared equally 🫸🫷🙌

Look at that gorgeous character in the grain! Built to handle a lifetime of family dinners 🍱messy craft projects 🧶🧵🖍️and lively game nights 🧩🃏🎲it’s a true testament to what happens when beautiful timber meets thoughtful collaboration.

Seven years later, and still bringing everyone together!

Thank you to our wonderful clients who trust us to build the backdrops for their lives! ❤️

🏆The PRO of being a one-man workshop?
I’m the boss 😎 (well at least I pretend to be when the wife and daughter aren’t around) 🫡🫣

🏴‍☠️The CON? I’m also the only one here to wrestle a 3-leg star base table into submission 🌟🪵🪑

Just me, myself, and I... questioning every life choice that led to clamping this beast. 🫠🛠️
Sometimes I look around the workshop and think, ‘How did it just become me against this table?’ 😅

A week in the workshop, and what a soul-stirring dance it’s been🪵✨

The rhythm of our Tassie studio never skips a beat. 🪵🪚 One moment, our hands are slowly coaxing the fluid, velvet contours of another Smooth Curves VANITY to life, soon to find its home in a beautifully converted BUS 🚌 ready to elevate it into a magical, wandering retreat 🔮✨

Next, a handcrafted timber bench seat, completely oiled, sealed 🍯 and ready to head off to its forever home 🏡

Following by hand pouring deep resin waves onto our timber cheeseboards 🧀 watching the rich blue swirl and pool, capturing the wild, untamed spirit of the Tasmanian coast in a single, breathless ripple. 🌊💙🐚

✨ Table tops soaking up the afternoon sunshine, showing off those gorgeous, rich grain details 🌻 A little snippet of the patience, precision, and heavy-duty clamping 🗜️ that goes into making sure these heirloom pieces are built to last a lifetime 💪🔧

😍🪵 Our Tasmanian Wormy Chestnut timber vanity!

Every single dark streak, sap pocket, and feature line tells a unique story of the rugged Australian bush. 🇦🇺🌲

Chris from CBC Custom Building is pretty amazing at bringing this room together! 🪚❤️

Come walk with us through the workshop these days.

From Sweeping Curves and Seamless Waterfall Edges,
to the striking depth of a Black Shadow Frame,
the earthy, cool touch of Stone,
to the Tasmanian handmade native timber dining table!

Every piece of bespoke furniture carries a story.

But the true soul of our work is found in the hidden places.

When you pull open a drawer or step inside a cupboard, you are met with the wild Messmate and Wormy Chestnut.

It is nature’s own signature, tucked away just for you.

Marble, gold accents, and a custom timber vanity?
Yes, please! 😍

We loved working alongside Arise Building to bring this delightful space to life.

It’s elegant, it’s warm, and we might never want to leave this room!

Morning routines just got a whole lot brighter in this Tassie winter! ☀️
