Timber colour varies naturally from board to board, and screen settings can affect how finishes appear. Samples give you the best real-world comparison of colour, grain and finish in your own space.

They are especially useful when choosing timber for a custom dining table, boardroom table or custom timber benchtop.

Each sample is approximately 25 × 10 × 3 cm and will be sent by courier within one working day. $10 includes NZ courier, with no extra sample shipping charge.

We stock three native timber species, each available in three standard colours: Natural, Walnut and Blackwash. If you’d like to see something else, just let us know — we have other options available.

If you’re in Christchurch, we highly recommend visiting our showroom by appointment. You can book a time through the contact page.

Compare the timber species

Not sure which timber suits your space? Start with the species first, then compare the colour finishes in your own light.

Rimu — warm, golden and character-rich

Rimu ranges from golden honey and amber through to caramel and richer brown tones. Its flowing grain, darker streaks and small natural marks give it a warm, character-rich look with plenty of depth and variation.

Our West Coast Rimu was salvaged after Cyclone Ita, the 2014 West Coast storm, where a limited amount of fallen timber was permitted for recovery and use.

Northland Tōtara — honeyed warmth with natural character

Tōtara ranges from pale straw and honey-gold through to soft tan, peach and occasional reddish-brown tones. Its grain is generally fine and gently flowing, with knots, darker flecks and richer heartwood variation adding natural character.

Our tōtara work is connected to Northland farm-tōtara and native timber pathways developed through landowners, researchers, foresters, Tāne’s Tree Trust and MPI-supported systems.

West Coast Beech — warm, clean and naturally varied

Beech has a warm palette of honey, peach, caramel and red-brown tones, often with darker natural streaks. Its fine, flowing grain and occasional knots give it a clean, contemporary look without feeling plain or uniform.

It is a practical New Zealand hardwood option for contemporary tables, tops and commercial spaces where you want native timber with a cleaner, more modern feel.
