At Stuart Timber Co we mill logs into timber using up-to-date technology and processes, delivering quality products that last.

Stuart Timber have a diverse range of milled timber products on site readily available for purchase. ​We typically mill Radiata Pine. We always have Radiata Pine in stock, however, odd sizes or something non-standard may have to be milled. ​Our sawmill can also cut and machine your existing timber to a smaller size, and treat it to prolong its life. The grades of treatment vary to suit the purpose that the timber is being used for and the conditions the timber will be exposed to.

While most of our timber is kiln-dried, some timber is air-dried. ​

KILN DRYING
The kiln drying process is fast.  The kiln ensures uniform and efficient drying of our lumber with a 24-hour turnaround.​ All appearance-grade lumber is dried in medium-temperature kilns to reduce the risk of distortion and residual stress levels within the lumber. All lumber is dried to spec, ensuring our customer receives a stable product with low moisture content.​ Every kiln charge has moisture content readings recorded to ensure the mean and standard deviation of the moisture content is within the required specifications of the end use of the product.​ Kiln drying delivers a consistent level of dryness through the timber making it more rigid and less likely to warp. ​

STEAM DRYING
Larger end sections, beams and poles are steamed dried.

Our skilled machinists produce dress timber and profiles to a high standard. Framing is put through the planer at a much faster rate than profiles like T&G and weatherboard that require a much better finish.

We produce a wide range of pressure-treated timber for every situation. From landscaping above ground to submerged marine piles, and everything in between.

CCA and MCA pressure-treated pine carries a lifetime guarantee and has proven to be by far the best way to enhance the life of Radiata Pine. This process is safe and we conduct internal testing regularly to ensure safety and quality standards are met.

We produce a wide range of pressure-treated products. H1.2 – Suitable for internal framing H3.2 – Treatment is suitable for external use above ground H4 – Treatment is suitable for external use with ground contact H5 – Treatment is suitable for house piles, and in some cases retaining walls.H6 – Treatment is suitable for submerged timber such as marine piles.

We have an exciting new environmentally friendly treatment chemical (Micropro)MCA Micronized Copper which is Chromium and Arsinic free. All higher grades of timber such as weatherboard and shiplap is treated with MCA. 

Stuart Timber Co cuts timber to length. Products like palings, posts, pellet or box timbers, pegs, stakes and bee hive timber are all cut using our optimizing docking saw, which cuts to precision.
