With over 40 years experience, we source our timber through the Tasmanian Fine Timbers chain of custody. We respect the need to sustainably harvest. We want our industry to be still here in the next century and centuries to come. We ourselves proudly mill, air- and kiln-dry all of the special species timber we use.
Tassie Thick Veneer can be between 3 - 4mm thick and produced from any Tasmanian renewable timber. And because it's a thick veneer, it retains the depth and aesthetic qualities of real wood, unlike traditional, wafer-thin veneers. It's an eco-friendly THICK veneer of solid timber.

We use a combination of traditional methods such as hand dovetailing and carving, while using ultra-modern machinery to precision machine, dress and dry our timbers. Every master piece is crafted from us going out and hand selecting logs to then ship to our yard and band-mill them ourselves to have complete quality control and continuity of timber.
Myrtle trees grow in Tasmania's cool temperate rainforests and in the understorey of the mixed wet eucalypt forests in Tasmania's wetter regions. The wood colour varies from pink to a deep red brown; fiddle-back and burl figure is highly valued. It is a hard, very close grained wood and works and polishes well to a fine finish.

Craig and his team have made me a beautiful dining suit, as well as repairing furniture that Craig made for me nearly 30-years ago. As usual, the work is perfectly crafted and finished. Craig produces items that are not only functional, but also beautiful and a delight to the senses.
