Hydrowood
Hydrowood is timber reclaimed from the depths of the Pieman River (hydro) Dam on Tasmania’s West Coast. Having laid dormant under water for more than 30 years, these forests, once lost, are now producing both Eucalyptus and sought after special species timbers from trees that were 200-1000 years old.
The sustainably salvaged specialty timbers include Huon Pine, Sassafras and Myrtle as well as Eucalyptus and Blackwood. The timbers are ideal for use by furniture designers, woodworkers, as well as in high-end residential and commercial construction.
“Most species we harvest are in short supply and almost never found as intact logs. And they certainly don’t come with such a unique story. This isn’t recycled wood already used and full of rusty bolts and nails. And it isn’t reclaimed wood found on a musty forest floor, years dead and scavenged from amongst the leaf litter. This is real wood. Solid timber that comes untouched and intact. Wood that craftsmen and master builders dream of working with. Wood with a story to tell, a character like no other and in quantities thought never to be seen again. This is Hydrowood.”
Sustainability
Hydrowood has achieved Declare Certification to add to their growing list of eco-friendly credentials including Responsible Wood/PEFC, Australian Forestry Standard and Fine Timber Tasmania Chain of Custody.
