Axe-pedition No. 3: Murbah bound. 🪓🚚
The ute’s loaded, Shop66 / Empire Revival Murwillumbah needs a restock and there’s only one question…
Why are there pickles in the passenger seat? 🥒👀
I’m not saying this trip is going off the rails, but the pickles are already involved.

Just when you thought your side table couldn’t be more dangerous… 🐅
A delightful pair of MCM three-tier tiger cane side tables have just lumbered into the UL den at Empire Revival Paddo.
Because apparently, even your furniture needs a bit of roar power.
And while I’m on the road today, I’ll be making a little detour to restock Empire Revival Murwillumbah too. 🚚🪓

4.5 years. One hell of a ride. ❤️
Today marks the last day of The Emporium Kalbar as we’ve known it.
We’ve been there from the very beginning, and over the past four and a half years we’ve had the absolute joy of getting to know the building, the business, the town — and plenty of the wonderful people who make Kalbar what it is.
So yes, today comes with a touch of sadness.
But there’s some very good news…
We’re staying! 🎉
Under the new owners, Urban Lumberjack will continue bringing you some of the best antiques, vintage treasures and wonderfully old stuff the Scenic Rim has to offer.
A huge thank you, and much love, to Greg & Suzy for the opportunity, the friendship and for introducing us to Kalbar all those years ago. It’s been an absolute pleasure.
The Emporium may be turning a page, but this lumberjack isn’t putting down his axe just yet.
I’ll be here for a while yet. ❤️

Built to work. Too good not to admire. 🪨
A beautiful 14”+ antique sandstone grinding wheel, complete with its original wooden axle.
Once upon a time it was earning its keep on the farm. These days? Just as happy turning heads in a garden, courtyard or home.
Practical history with a bit of grunt. 🪓
Now at Shop66 / Empire Revival Paddo.

A little Irish history, a little old-world storage, and one very fancy funnel. ☘️🪓
This reel takes a wander through a 19th-century print of The Trial of Robert Emmet, some wonderful earthenware demijohns, and a beautifully enamelled ½-gallon funnel.
Because apparently even funnels had to look good back in the day.
A few cracking pieces for the collector, restorer or general lover of old stuff at Shop66 / Empire Revival 🪓❤️

New handle day. And these are a bit special. 🪓🌳
A fresh shipment of Jimmy Findlay axe handles is heading into Shop66 / Empire Revival Paddo today — 30” Racing, 32”, 24” and hatchet handles in beautiful Spotted Gum.
And then there are four very special pieces for the axe that’s far too good to leave hanging on the wall:
🌳 Figural Spotted Gum
🌳 American Hickory
🌳 Tasmanian Blackwood
🌳 Tasmanian Myrtle
For the axe that deserves something a little more fancy than the usual stick. 😉
Get in quick — the rare stuff has a habit of growing legs!

Point the ute south and see where the road takes you. 🚙💨
Another epic Axe-pedition, 300+ km to Grafton, chasing down a ute-load of rusty gold and other old treasures.
Because apparently the best stuff is always a long way from home. 👊

Delicious. Divine. Delectable. And absolutely no calories. 😏
A few of our cabinets are looking particularly tasty, packed with the sort of collectibles that make a fossicker’s heart skip a beat.
Go on… have a little nibble. 👀

Bond. James Bond. But make it Lumberjack. 🕵️‍♂️🪓
Today’s mission: acquire the apothecary bottles, secure the O***m and Royal Water, investigate a suspicious geological gathering of thunder eggs and agates, and keep a close eye on the vintage seahorses.
No time for small talk, 007. The treasure won’t fossick itself.
