Re-sawn timber is a reclaimed wood that’s been cut or milled again to reveal fresh surfaces beneath its aged exterior. Old beams, posts, and boards are carefully sawn into new dimensions based on your brief, removing weathered edges while preserving the timber’s natural character and history.

RE-SAWN TIMBER

Re-sawn timber creates a clean, versatile material perfect for structural timbers, beams, architectural features or any bespoke requirements. It provides a more refined appearance than rustic beams. When freshly sawn the natural colour of the timber is exposed, and the surface can be maintained with oil, further polished or left to weather and grey-off.

AVAILABLE SPECIES:

The re-sawn posts are supplied in Class 1 durability species suitable for indoor and outdoor use. Often from old power poles and wharf piles of mixed species such as Ironbark, Spotted Gum, Tallowood or Turpentine.

SIZES:

We can mill to your requirements - get in touch to talk through the best combination to suit your requirements.Common sizes for larger beams are 150 x 150mm, 200 x 200mm, 250 x 250mm.

FINISHES:

To enhance the final aesthetic, our structural hardwood can be either left rough sawn, sanded or machine dressed on request. Find out more here

LIVE EDGE:

Request a live edge to add unique character and natural beauty to your project. This is especially popular with fireplace mantles, floating shelves and bench tops.
