Introduce functional art into your space with a Keep Me Post - or use as an eye-catching door stop.

This piece is handcrafted from reclaimed timber that was salvaged during the restoration of Wellington Harbour's Eastbourne wharf.

With an estimated age of over 100 years, this timber has a rich history.

Adding an industrial touch is a recycled iron pandrol clip, used for decades on New Zealand railway tracks.

Discover the unique history and beauty of a Keep Me Post for yourself.

  • Material: Jarrah & railway iron
  • Dimensions: H 39 cm, W 12 cm, D 19 cm
  • Weight: 6 kg

The timber is Australian Jarrah, a very dense and durable wood that is part of the Eucalyptus family.

Jarrah was imported and used along with other Australian hardwoods in late nineteenth century New Zealand for commercial and industrial construction.

The history of the timber has been retained by leaving any existing bolt holes and surface marks, while exposing and polishing the beautiful end grain.

Both the Jarrah and the old iron have been cleaned, sanded, and hand finished by applying a coating of natural beeswax.

Each Keep Me Post has a felt pad on the base to protect any surface you choose to put it on.
