The
Lumber Bunker supplies several building timbers such as:
Western Red Cedar
The
soft red-brown timber is valued for its distinct appearance,
aroma, and its high natural resistance to decay, being
extensively used for outdoor construction in the form
of posts, decking,shingles, siding, and so forth.
We
sell only the best #2 Clear graded timber for use
in joinery trades. We sell Western Red Cedar by the
pack, please phone us on 02 4323 6900 or Request
a Quote so we can ensure we have your exact requirements,
and can fill your order accordingly.
Hardwood (Blackbutt/Blue Gum)
The
hardwood we supply for building is either Blackbutt
or Blue Gum. We saw the timber specifically for your
requirements, once your order is placed. The timber
is supplied unseasoned off the saw.
The wood of these species is heavy (about 850 kg/m3),
fairly hard, coarse, even textured and reasonably
easy to work. It is used for general building construction,
and is highly prized for flooring and furniture because
of its rich dark honey colour. (see our flooring section)
Due
to the variation of sizing and uses for hardwood we
don't sell it online. Please request
a quote and we will get back to you with prices.

with very similar traits. The heartwood varies from
pale pink to dark red in the light and dark red groups

groups. Packs mostly made up of varried species.
Machines well to a smooth surface. However, some of
