Rimu flourishes across New Zealand’s native forests, especially in the West Coast, Nelson, and select North Island regions. These optimal growing conditions result in high-quality, sustainably sourced timber used for woodworking.

Rimu timber is known for its warm reddish-brown tones, straight even grain, and fine texture, making it a favourite among woodworkers. Its natural luster and occasional dark streaks add depth and character, giving each piece a distinctly New Zealand charm. With grain patterns that range from straight to subtly interlocked, Rimu brings a welcoming, organic beauty to furniture, flooring, and bespoke designs — each piece reflecting the artistry of our native timber.

At our workshop, we love working with Rimu for its warm tones, fine texture, and unmistakable New Zealand character. When crafting bespoke furniture, we let each piece of Rimu guide the design, using its unique grain patterns and natural beauty to shape custom tables, chairs, cabinets, and more. Its versatility allows us to create pieces that are both functional and deeply personal to our history, celebrating the charm of native New Zealand timber in every detail.

Sustainably sourced from Aotearoa’s native forests, our Rimu selection reflects our commitment to quality and responsible craftsmanship. Each slab is chosen for its colour, grain, and structural integrity, ensuring the final result carries the warmth, durability, and elegance Rimu is known for. In our hands, this cherished native timber becomes the foundation for refined, meaningful designs made to last for generations.
