FAQs
Timber joinery is a part of woodworking in which you join multiple pieces of timber together to create more complex items such as furniture, frames, shelves and more. Joinery involves cutting precise shapes and notches to fit into each other to make engineered structures from multiple pieces of timber.
There are endless possibilities of what to make when it comes to timber joinery.
You can build benches, seats, a birdhouse, a planter, a picnic table, a window planter, a garden arbour, patio chairs, a privacy screen and a bed frame...

The difference between carpentry and joinery is that carpentry involves building structures on-site whereas joinery, in the most traditional sense, means that joiners have joined timber in a workshop.
We offer timber for many needs including cladding, decking, batten screening, landscaping, fencing, veggie bed kits, flooring, lining and firewood.
Timber for indoor joinery should be of quality grade 2, to be considered strong enough for certain joinery uses in which the furniture will need to carry weight, all outdoor applications should be of quality grade 1. Joinery timber can have more knots and sap than other timber uses.
