All of our Timber is locally sourced with a whole lotta love!

American Oak

American Oak is also known as American Red Oak – but it’s not red! The name, red oak, comes from the colour of the leaves in autumn. The sapwood is white to light brown and the heartwood is a pinkish reddish brown. The wood appears similar to white oak, but with slightly less pronounced figure. The wood is mostly straight grained, with a coarse texture. Also known as Northern Red Oak, Southern Red Oak. American Oak is great for shelving due to its durability, stability, and attractive appearance. Its robust nature ensures that shelves made from this wood can withstand the weight of various items.

Tasmanian Oak

Tasmanian Oak timber is a top choice for those seeking the natural warmth and enduring quality that only solid hardwood can provide. Tasmanian Oak timber typically features a pale to light pink or reddish-brown colour which effortlessly enhances the aesthetics of any living space, adapting seamlessly to a variety of interior styles. What sets Tasmanian Oak apart is its exceptional durability, making it a wise investment for a lifetime. This hardwood is renowned for its strength, able to withstand the demands of daily life, whether used for shelving, cabinetry, or furniture. Furthermore, the responsible sourcing of Tasmanian Oak from well-managed forests ensures its sustainability, making it an eco-friendly choice. In essence, Tasmanian Oak combines beauty, quality, and sustainability to elevate your home's ambiance for years to come.

Blonde Oak

Blonde oak timber is celebrated for its stunning blonde tones and consistent grain, much like its relative, Tasmanian Oak. This hardwood brings a warm and contemporary feel to any home. Although its grain may not be as straight as Tasmanian Oak, it offers delightful curves and occasional knots, adding character and charm to your living space. This unique quality ensures that each piece of blonde oak timber is one of a kind, enhancing the individuality of your decor.

Pinewood

Known for its sturdy construction and contemporary appeal, pinewood is a versatile choice for various interior applications. To accentuate its natural beauty, we apply a durable clear finish that allows the wood's innate charm to shine through. This combination of strength and aesthetics makes pinewood a timeless and practical option for any living space.
