The Blackwood Project your destination for authentic Japanese charred timber solutions in New Zealand. We specialise in offering a diverse range of charred timber weatherboards and timber finishes, carefully spelected timbers crafted to elevate the aesthetics and durability of your architectural endeavours.
Welcome to The Blackwood Project NZ, your trusted destination for authentic Shou Sugi Ban timber and high-quality charred timber products crafted in the heart of Put?ruru, New Zealand. We specialize in supplying premium architectural timber solutions designed to blend natural beauty, durability, and modern craftsmanship.
At The Blackwood Project, we bring the ancient Japanese technique of Shou Sugi Ban (Yakisugi) to New Zealand architects, builders, and homeowners seeking distinctive finishes that endure. This traditional method involves charring the timber surface to enhance resistance against fire, insects, and weather, while also creating stunning visual textures that add depth and character to any project.
Our charred timber weatherboards and architectural finishes are meticulously produced using carefully selected New Zealand timbers such as Cypress, Cedar, Larch, and Pine, ensuring superior quality and sustainability. Whether you’re designing a contemporary home, a commercial façade, or an interior feature wall, our custom finishes can be tailored to suit your creative vision.
