Our timber species
Beautiful
Our timbers look and feel like traditional solid hardwood timbers. Each species boasts its own characteristics, and, like any natural wood product, its own beautiful imperfections.
Safe
Our process does not rely on formaldehyde adhesives or other harmful chemicals.
Our timbers are crafted using natural wood and a water-based, non-toxic nano-glue. Our products have been tested for VOCs and are safe to use indoors and outdoors.
Durable
Our timbers have properties that match or exceed those of 100-year-old trees and are fit for a wide range of interior and exterior decorative application, furniture and select structural applications.
Sustainable
We convert low-value, abundant juvenile pulpwood resources — typically destined for woodchips — into premium hardwoods, giving these underutilised resources a new life with unsurpassed value-add.
We only source raw wood material that is certified, giving us the assurance that it is obtained from forests that are well cared for and meet rigourous standards for sustainable and ethical forestry practices.
Available timber species
All Crafted Hardwood Timbers are made using low-value pulp logs that were destined to never see the construction market. We up-cycle these resources into a unique and incredibly versatile material.
We proudly offer a diverse selection of Australian native timber species, complemented by a carefully curated range of imported options (see our exclusive species below).
All our raw material is sourced exclusively from FSC® and PEFC-certified suppliers, reflecting our commitment to sustainability and responsible forestry practices. To further ensure peace of mind, we provide full Chain of Custody certification for our products, guaranteeing complete transparency and traceability from forest to finish.

Grain cut options
For most applications, once you have chosen your preferred species, you must choose a grain cut option.
At Crafted Hardwoods, we offer two distinct grain cut options—Backsawn and Quartersawn—each with its own unique appeal. These two cuts are both derived from the same quality timber, but the way they’re processed results in different grain patterns, aesthetics, and benefits.
