Podocarp
Podocarp is one of the most popular of our hardwood timbers because it is very similar to native Rimu. It is easier to source and less expensive so it can be used in older character homes as both a structural and finishing timber where native Rimu was previously used. Podocarp has been proven as a remarkably versatile and exceptionally beautiful timber.
Suitable for a range of high quality end-uses including furniture and cabinet work, joinery, staircase (baluster, balustrade, hand rails, newel and sprandrel framing) and interior mouldings and paneling
