January Blackwood and Cedar update.
Our latest blackwood cut is progressing well, with lots of quality flooring stock now in strip air drying, getting ready for final kiln drying and machining. We are now taking orders for this stock. Our dry NZ cedar is coming out of the kiln twice a week ready for final grading and processing. Current lead time on house lot cedar orders is 3 weeks. We also have our first shipment arriving soon of sustainably grown cedar heartwood from Japan. This is going to complement our NZ grown stock.
New Blackwood logs now arriving.
