Bespoke staircases, built-in joinery, structural timber, and fine-finish fit-outs. The work that turns a renovation into a custom-built home.
Reviews from recent projects — names withheld in this concept build.
Luke designed and built a custom spotted-gum staircase for our Castle Hill renovation. The joinery is honestly the finest I've seen in a residential build — every detail considered. Worth every dollar.
Our architect specified a wall-length shadow-line bookcase that other builders said couldn't be done on budget. Black Stag built it, perfectly, at the quoted price. Their carpentry standard is exceptional.
Black Stag Projects has been doing custom carpentry across the Hills District for 18+ years. Every job is on-tools work by Luke and the in-house team — no joinery sub-contracted out, no quality control surprises, no shifted blame.
The work tends to be on premium residential renovations: a spotted-gum floating staircase, a wall-length shadow-line bookcase, a custom kitchen island with a waterfall benchtop, a full timber-lined alfresco ceiling. Always specified to suit the home — the brief is yours, the build is ours.
We work primarily in Australian hardwoods (spotted gum, blackbutt, Tasmanian oak, ironbark) but also veneer panel, MDF, and finger-jointed pine where the brief calls for it. Brass, blackened-steel, and copper detailing on request. Engineering certified where the build is structural.
Every Black Stag carpentry job is quoted as fixed-price scope. You'll know exactly what you're getting before any timber is ordered.
