  • Panels - Timber pieces, usually of well-figured wood either recessed or applied over the frames of doors and as decoration elsewhere in the carcase of cabinet furniture. The panels may take a variety of shapes rectangular, square, shield shape, oval, half-round or in the form of Egyptian pylons.
  • Backboard - Backboard, as the name indicates, a backboard is a panel that is attached to the back of a piece of furniture, such as a bookcase, cabinet or desk. The backboard serves to support the structure of the piece and can also provide a surface for attaching other features, such as shelves or drawers. In some cases, the backboard may also be visible from the front or sides of the piece, in which case it may be decorated or finished in a specific way to enhance the overall appearance of the piece. For vintage and antique items of furniture, backboards are typically made of wood.

  • Jarrah - A eucalypt, known by its aboriginal name jarrah, it grows only in the south-west of Western Australia. The timber is a dark red-brown in colour with similar grain and colouring to mahogany and was used extensively in house construction as well as for making furniture.
