Crafted Hardwoods
Paradise TimbersCrafted Hardwoods offers a curated selection of premium Australian hardwood species, each chosen for its performance, character, and design versatility. Through advanced engineering processes, the natural beauty of each species is preserved while enhancing stability and sustainability.
Blackbutt
Blackbutt (Eucalyptus pilularis) is a durable Australian native hardwood, ranging in colour from pale yellow-brown to warm golden hues. Highly regarded for its strength and resilience, it performs reliably across a wide range of internal and external applications.Blackbutt is also one of the few species that naturally meets bushfire building requirements up to BAL 29, making it a trusted choice in performance-driven contexts.
NSW Spotted Gum
NSW Spotted Gum (Corymbia maculata) is a striking Australian hardwood native to the New South Wales coast and southern Queensland. Its colouring ranges from pale browns through to rich caramels, often highlighted by distinctive tonal contrasts. Known for its exceptional hardness and strength, Spotted Gum also naturally meets bushfire building requirements up to BAL 29, combining visual impact with dependable performance.
Tasmanian Oak
Tasmanian Oak is the collective name for a mix of three eucalypts (Eucalyptus regnans, obliqua and delegatensis). Crafted Hardwoods’ Tasmanian Oak presents a more expressive interpretation of this familiar species, showcasing pronounced grain, backsawn figure and natural variation that reflect the character of the resource. Colour ranges from pale straw through to warm reddish tones, with dynamic shifts from board to board. This distinctive appearance celebrates the authenticity of the timber and suits projects seeking a less uniform, more tactile material palette.
White Gum
White Gum (Eucalyptus dunnii) is a species endemic to eastern Australia, valued for its light, creamy tones and subtle pink undertones. The timber responds particularly well to tinting and allows the final finish to be adjusted to suit a wide range of interior palettes. Crafted Hardwoods’ White Gum is sourced from certified plantation forestry, ensuring responsible management and consistent availability. The timber offers reliable durability and strength while remaining workable for a variety of interior applications.
Crafted Hardwoods is available in two grain cuts — Backsawn (BS) and Quartersawn (QS), each offering a distinct visual character. Architects and designers can select the grain that best aligns with the project’s aesthetic direction.
Backsawn (BS) timber displays bold, natural grain patterns with movement and variation across the face. This cut reveals the organic character of the tree, producing a warm, expressive appearance often favoured in spaces seeking texture and authenticity.
Quartersawn (QS) timber presents a more refined, linear grain pattern with a consistent and orderly appearance. The straighter grain delivers a clean, contemporary aesthetic suited to projects where visual uniformity and restraint are desired.

Sustainably Engineered
Crafted Hardwoods transforms underutilised plantation logs into high-performance timber using advanced 3RT technology. By rotary peeling and re-engineering the timber, the process achieves up to 75% log recovery, significantly reducing waste compared to traditional milling methods. All timber is responsibly sourced from certified forests, supporting long-term environmental stewardship.
High Performance & Structural Integrity
Designed to perform comparably to mature hardwood, Crafted Hardwoods delivers exceptional strength, density, and stability. The unique wave-pressed layering mimics natural growth rings, enhancing durability while maintaining the authentic characteristics of real timber.
Nano-Glue Innovation
Developed in partnership with leading Australian research institutions, the proprietary nano-adhesive technology mimics the natural sap of the tree. It is VOC-free and free from formaldehyde, ensuring safer indoor environments without compromising structural reliability.
Distinctive Natural Aesthetic
Available in both backsawn and quartersawn orientations, Crafted Hardwoods offers design versatility across a range of architectural styles. Each piece retains natural grain variation, subtle features, and organic imperfections — creating a visually rich and authentic finish.
Large Format Capabilities
Manufactured in substantial billet sizes, Crafted Hardwoods enables large, seamless applications such as wide stair treads, substantial panels, structural posts, and custom furniture components — reducing the need for visible lamination.
Versatile Applications
Suitable for staircases, panelling, battens, dowels, furniture, posts and beams, internal linings, and more, Crafted Hardwoods adapts effortlessly across residential and commercial projects.
Australian Made Innovation
Proudly designed and manufactured in Australia, Crafted Hardwoods is redefining what engineered timber can achieve — delivering strength, beauty, and sustainability without compromise.
