Milling beams


Locally sourced Lawson Cyprus trees where used. The majority of the milling took place on site over the summer producing about 10 cubic metres of columns and beams along with another 3 or 4 cubic metres of smaller dimension timbers. 
Top plate/bond beams are 200 x 100, columns are 200 x 150, floor beams are 250 x 150 and roof and tie beams are either 200 x 150 or 250 x 150 size timbers. 
The Rimu Mill  turns out some impressive Macrocarpa slabes.
