What is Rimu timber?

Rimu (Dacrydium cupressinum) is a sustainable, native New Zealand timber. It is prized for its inherently beautiful grain and is used extensively for fine furniture and in older character homes as finishing timber.

Rimu forests are required to be managed to exacting standards under detailed long-term sustainable management plans. Every forest has its own individual Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry approved Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) Plan or SFM Permit.
