GUMMER BAR

This custom home bar in Havelock North, Hawke’s Bay is designed as a seamless extension of the home, blending warm timber finishes with refined modern detailing. A timber slat feature wall sets the tone, paired with floating shelves accented by integrated LED lighting to create depth and atmosphere.

Functional storage is achieved through Prime Tawa cabinetry, custom timber wine glass racks, and concealed cupboards, alongside a built-in bar fridge for convenience. The layered shelving and varied textures bring both practicality and visual interest, making the space ideal for entertaining.

The result is a bespoke bar area that feels like it has always belonged in the home - warm, cohesive, and thoughtfully detailed, showcasing high-quality custom joinery and craftsmanship.

"We have been lucky enough to have James of Natural Edge do several pieces of work with us both at our home in Havelock North, Bach and rustic cabin in CHB.
We have really enjoyed working with him, he listens and makes sure he really understands what you want and offers suggestions and options. He's quick to respond with quotes, drawings and materials pricing. He's very practical, uses off-site preparation so pieces come part built and leaves everything clean and tidy.
His workmanship is excellent, reasonably priced and he is a pleasure to work with. We keep finding more jobs for him to do and would highly recommend his services."
