Tasmanian Special Timbers – the Huon Pine Specialists

 

As a company, we pride ourselves on ensuring that our very special timbers are used to create wonderful furniture, artisan products, pianos, stringed instruments, art pieces and sculpture and boats.

By any measure, Tasmanian Special Timbers has been providing Tasmania’s quality timbers (particularly Huon and King Billy Pine) for longer than any other company in the world. With seven generations in the Tasmanian timber industry, our knowledge, involvement and care for our product is unparalleled. From prisoners and free settlers, all the way through to today’s entrepreneurs, we have seen them all, and are still managing and husbanding this most precious of resources. Our methods of production are hands-on and labour- intensive, and each piece of timber is assessed and handled for maximum value.

We then patiently and carefully handle and saw the logs, skillfully drying the timber and eventually releasing it to the next custodian on its journey. We understand that, while the trees continue to thrive in the river valleys and mountain slopes of Western Tasmania, there will never be another crop of logs. Accordingly we must honour and respect the ancient organisms they represent, and ensure that supplies of Huon and King Billy Pine timber continue to be available into our grandchildren’s generation.

Quality, not quantity, and patience and care are the hallmarks of our operation.

Entry to Tasmanian Special Timbers’ client list requires a commitment to using the timber in careful ways to ensure it lasts for generations. If you become a valued client of ours you will have access to the most unique and precious timber in the world.
