Heart Rimu
A popular NZ native with striking reddish brown grain medium density, hardness, and weight. Sustainably sourced from wind-thrown trees recovered logs and recycled timber.
We only use NZ 'Heart' Rimu, it generally has a dark streaky grain and is harder, more durable and attractive than the timber from other parts of the tree. Most of the Rimu we use has come from the west coast of the South Island and has been recovered by helicopter from wind-thrown trees as a result of weather events such as cyclone Ita in 2014. This continues to be our most popular timber with its attractive grain and rich appearance.
