General Uses Top

Suggest a correction!

Common products:
Heartwood timber used as a specialty hardwood for furniture, turning, interior joinery, and flooring; salvaged logs provide occasional supplies.

Industrial and craft applications:
Structural and decorative timber for interior fixtures and specialty components.

Wood and fiber:
Heartwood boards seasoned to equilibrium moisture content and machined into furniture-grade lumber, turning blanks, and flooring strips; selected boards used for knife scales and craft panels.

Properties relevant to use:
High density (specific gravity approximately 0.85–0.95) and strength; fine, even texture; straight or wavy grain; moderate natural decay resistance attributed to heartwood extractives; good dimensional stability when properly dried.

Standards and regulation:
Timber marketed under New Zealand timber trade grading and grade definitions; flooring commonly complies with NZS 3602 for internal timber flooring; construction use governed by the New Zealand Building Code; listed in CITES Appendix III and managed under New Zealand flora protection frameworks.

Sustainability and sourcing:
Grows natively in lowland forest; wild-harvest is restricted due to conservation status. Most commercial supply derives from windfall, farm salvage, and limited plantation timber; certified or verified origin is used when available.
