Do you mill timber from all origins?
We only mill, dress, rip or dock fresh timber supplied by Canterbury Timber. We will not process timber supplied by customers as we are uncertain of its origin and there can be no certainty it can be replaced if damaged; and it may contain foreign bodies (nails, bolts etc.) which may damage the machinery, prematurely blunt cutting blades or injure customers and staff.
Do you charge for docking?
Generally, we dock (crosscut) to length free of charge for small quantities. A charge may be applied for large docking volumes or for precision cross cutting to length.

We also mill all other DAR or F27 species (Blackbutt, Meranti, Merbau, Spotted Gum, Victorian Ash) as well as all flooring and decking species depending on the customer’s intended use and the most suitable and time dependent stock available.
