Woods
There are three woods to choose from or we can make one out of the wood of your choice (Please contact us to discuss).
Pine:
New Zealand Pine (Pinus Radiata) originally a native of California, excels in Southern New Zealand soils and climatic conditions. New Zealand Pine yields a strong, economical and versatile light coloured timber. Tall, clear trunks produce timber highly suited for furniture and all forms of show wood applications.
Rimu:
Rimu is a fine, even-textured, medium-density softwood. The seasoned heartwood is reddish-brown, sometimes yellowish-brown and has pigmented figure which fades on exposure to light. The intermediate zone has an even, light-brown colour and sapwood a lighter brown tone. It is straight grained.
American White Oak:
American white oak is a pale yellow-brown biscuit colour with a pinkish tint. Straight grained with a characteristic silver grain figure on quarter-sawn material. This comes from the timber’s broad rays which give white oak more figure than red oak. Northern (Appalachian) Oak is slow growing producing light weight, mild wood generally considered superior to southern oak which is faster growing with a harder, coarser texture. US forests have a long-standing tradition of sustainable forest management, bolstered by a strong legal framework for environmental conservation.
