The Blackwood Project

Welcome to The Blackwood Project, New Zealand's destination for authentic Shou sugi ban Japanese charred timber cladding solutions in New Zealand. We specialise in offering a diverse range of charred timber weatherboards and timber finishes, carefully selected timbers crafted to elevate the aesthetics and durability of your architectural endeavours.

At the core of our offerings lies Shou Sugi Ban, an ancient Japanese art form of fire conditioning timber. We have taken this traditional technique and modernised it with Infrared light technology, giving the highest level of precision that protects key elements of the modern weatherboard profile from charring. The end result is unparalleled resilience and character, making it an ideal choice for both residential and commercial projects. With a daily production capacity of 3000lm, we ensure a consistent quality and readily available supply of meticulously charred timber to meet the demands of your project, no matter the scale.
