Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best timber for joinery?
That depends on the applications and purpose. We aim to use locally sourced timber, but we won’t hesitate to recommend the best timber for your project.
What is the difference between hardwood and softwood?
Hardwood is collected from deciduous trees and softwood from conifer types. The general rule is that hardwood features dense and close fibres and usually comes in dark colours. Softwood is generally lightweight and light in colour. Ultimately, it all depends on the wood type you select. Both hardwood and softwood have various applications, and it is best to choose accordingly.
What is the most used timber for furniture?
It depends on the project, but jarrah, spotted gum, Tasmanian oak and other types of eucalyptus are quite common in building furniture. Hoop pine and Western red cedar are also very popular.
