Craig Howard and Son custom design and build a variety of hand crafted wooden bookcases from the highest quality, sustainably sourced Tasmanian timber. We collaborate closely with our clients both locally and internationally, to create both functional and beautiful bookcases in a range of sizes to suit any space.
A beautifully crafted timber bookcase is a classic addition to any home, showcasing your story through our design. At Heritage Furniture, we understand that a bookcase is more than just a storage solution; it’s a statement of exceptional craftsmanship and a reflection of your personal style.
The Difference Between a Bookcase and a Bookshelf
First, let’s clear up a common question: what distinguishes a bookcase from a bookshelf? Bookshelves are typically a simpler structure, often mounted directly onto walls or built into alcoves. A solid timber bookcase, on the other hand, is a freestanding piece of furniture with a sophisticated design that includes a back panel, side panels, and sometimes doors or drawers. This construction ensures stability and protection for your precious collections while adding architectural interest to your space.
Tasmanian Solid Wood Bookcases
Each timber bookcase we create begins its journey in Tasmania’s sustainable forests. We hand-select Tasmanian timber logs that will eventually transform into pieces that serve both practical and aesthetic purposes in your home. Whether you’re drawn to a wooden tall bookcase that commands attention in your study or a wooden low bookcase that fits perfectly beneath a window, the natural warmth of timber brings character to any room.
The versatility of our solid wood bookcases extends far beyond storing books. In modern homes, these pieces become storytellers of your life’s adventures. A natural wood bookcase might display your cherished family photographs alongside leather-bound classics. The generous shelving of a large wooden bookcase offers space for artwork, ceramics, and treasured collectibles, while a small wooden bookcase can create an intimate reading nook in a bedroom corner.
Customisable Storage Solutions
We craft our timber bookcases to suit various living spaces and storage needs. A solid timber bookcase in your home office keeps reference materials within arm’s reach while exhibiting the stunning grain patterns that make each piece unique. In living areas, our bookcases become statement pieces that complement both contemporary and traditional décors, thanks to the timeless appeal of natural timber.
The beauty of choosing a Heritage timber bookcase lies in its adaptability. As your collection grows or your display preferences change, these sturdy pieces maintain their functionality and beauty. The deep shelves of our wooden large bookcases accommodate oversized art books and decorative objects, while adjustable shelving allows you to customise the space to your needs.
