Sustainably Sourced Timber

Britton Timber supplies exclusively sustainably harvested timbers. We have PEFC and AFS certification. Tasmanian timbers are processed at our own timber mill in north-west Tasmania.

Tasmanian Oak

Heartwood pale to light brown in colour with a pinkish tinge. Sapwood is pale yellow, usually distinguishable from the heartwood. Texture moderately coarse but even. Grain sometimes interlocked. Growth rings visible but not prominent. Gum veins are common. Also known as Messmate.

Accoya

Accoya® wood is a chemical free modified timber using acetylation, which enables it to resist rot and defy the elements. Guaranteed for 50 years above ground and 25 years in ground. From joinery for the home to bridges submerged in water, Accoya® long life wood is a leading material that stands up to every application challenge.

Blackbutt

Heartwood pale brown, but northern material may sometimes display a slight pinkish tinge. Sapwood distinctively paler. Texture medium and even. Grain usually straight. Gum veins are common.

Spotted Gum

Heartwood pale to dark brown or chocolate. Sapwood is distinctively paler but there maybe a zone of intermediate wood. Texture moderately coarse. Grain variable, the frequent presence of wavy grain produces an attractive fiddleback figure. Slightly greasy nature. Gum veins common. Northern material is usually slightly denser, stronger and more durable than southern. Also known as Lemon Scented Gum.
