Imported hardwood for doors, frames and furniture, softwood for battens, studs and formwork, and local coconut timber for roof and structural work.
Everything imported is kiln dried to around twelve per cent moisture content and stored under cover. That figure matters more here than people think: timber at eighteen per cent will move noticeably after it is made into something in an air conditioned room, and a door frame that twists after installation was almost always wet when it was cut.
Stock sections in two by one, two by two, three by two, four by two and six by two, and we will plane to your section on order. Hardwood is sold by the cubic foot and softwood by the running foot, and both prices are on the list we will send you.
We will also tell you when local coconut timber is the better answer. For roof rafters and anything exposed it is durable, available and cheaper than the imported equivalent, and it is harder to work and less stable in a finished piece of furniture. Different tools, different job.
Timber is not returnable once it has been planed to your size, which is on the invoice rather than a surprise.
