Boards Built for
Special Moments
and the BBQ Banter
that Follows.

Custom timber gifts made to be used and passed around, not tucked away with the salad bowls.

The Gift That Actually
Gets Used

Wine gets poured and gift cards get forgotten, but a custom board? 

That sticks around and tells a story every time it’s used.

Whether it’s a 50th, a wedding, or your mate’s latest backyard reno, a personalised timber board says..

“I actually thought about this,” instead of, 
“I panicked at the bottle shop.”

It’s personal, built to last and it won’t melt under pressure or 20 minutes of patio sun.

Perfect For:

  • Big Birthdays:

    30, 40, 50 cue the “still got it” jokes.

  • Weddings & Anniversaries:

    A gift that outlasts the honeymoon.

  • Father’s Day, Mother’s Day, Mates Day:

    Because socks are boring.

  • Corporate Gifting:

    Say thanks like you really mean it.

  • Random Acts of Legendary:

    because they deserve it.

"Matt and Kylie were fantastic to deal with from the start, Matt was able to transform my ideas into exactly what I had envisaged. Highly recommend Hornets Nest!"

"Matt created a camphor laurel and resin serving board which was beyond our expectations, we then commissioned Matt to create a coffee table for us that fitted in perfect harmony with our home."

Carole
