A Story Carved from Timber
From the forest to your home, North Eden Timber crafts products that tell the story of Australia’s hardwood heritage — sustainably, ethically, and with unmatched precision.
Our Story
Founded in 2004 by Mick Loudon, North Eden Timber began as a small, determined operation in Pambula on the Sapphire Coast of NSW.
Mick’s vision was clear from the start — to honour the incredible strength, beauty and character of Australia’s native hardwoods, while protecting the forests they come from. Early on, we focused on reclaiming and repurposing timbers that would otherwise be lost, giving them a second life in new builds and renovations.
Over time, our reputation for quality and integrity grew. We expanded our range, introduced fire-resistant hardwood cladding to meet Australia’s evolving safety standards and invested in innovative milling techniques to maximise yield and minimise waste.
Today, we supply architects, builders, designers and homeowners across Australia — yet our heart remains firmly in our local community, supporting jobs and sustainable industry on the Sapphire Coast.
Machining into products
Once dried, the timber is machined into cladding, decking, flooring or bespoke orders
crafted to meet the market demand
Solar Kiln Drying
Seasoned timber enters our solar kilns. Low and steady heat (35-41 degrees) and airflow reduce moisture to 13% for exterior use or 10-12% for interior use. This takes 8 - 12 weeks
The First Cut
At the mill, each log is cut into boards in a way that maximises what nature has given us
From Forest to Finished Product
Every journey begins in the forest. Our logs are sustainably sourced from state forests, private land, and carefully managed forest thinnings that promote healthy regrowth and thriving wildlife corridors. Each log is selected with care for its quality and integrity, ensuring we balance responsible forest management with premium timber supply
Block Staking
Sawn boards arrive at North Eden Timber in "block Stacks" awaiting the careful drying process
Stripping and Air Seasoning
By hand, we place ‘racking sticks’ between each row, allowing fresh air to season the timber naturally. This process takes 4–12 months depending on size and species

Hand-Picked. Hand-Packed
Once graded, the timber is hand-picked, carefully packed, and prepared for delivery to meet customer requirements
Good Things
Take Time
Producing high-quality hardwood is a slow and deliberate process. Plan your projects early to ensure you have your timber ready when you need it

Sustainability
Working with Nature, Not Against It
Sustainability isn’t just a part of our business — it’s the foundation we build on. At North Eden Timber, we source hardwoods from responsibly managed forests and reclaim timbers that still have decades of life left in them. By maximizing yield, recycling offcuts and producing products designed to last for generations, we reduce waste and protect one of Australia’s most valuable natural resources. Every board we craft is a step toward a future where quality, safety and environmental responsibility go hand in hand
The People Behind the Timber
At North Eden Timber, our greatest strength is our people. From the mill floor to the office, every member of our team brings a wealth of experience, a passion for craftsmanship and a shared commitment to producing timber that meets the highest standards. Together, we turn raw hardwood into products that tell a story of skill, care and integrity
