Product Details

Macrocarpa (Cupressus macrocarpa), known internationally as Monterey Cypress, milled from mature Australian farm shelterbelts. Golden-tan heartwood, tight ring structure from slow farm growth, a faint cedar-resin scent that persists after milling. Light for its strength, stable under seasonal change, forgiving with nails and screws.

At 25×75mm, this section works as furniture rails, light framing, and joinery stock for the builder who wants something better than radiata without the cost of hardwood.

Why Macrocarpa

The windbreaks planted across southern Australia from the late 1800s onward are now mature trees working through the mill. Slow farm growth produces the tight, even ring structure that separates this stock from fast-plantation softwood. The grain is straight, the density is consistent, and the natural cypress oils give the timber an inherent resistance to moisture and decay that radiata doesn’t carry. For furniture rails, outdoor framing, and shelving where you want character without complexity, Macrocarpa earns its place.

Working Properties

  • Hardness: Soft. Light, easy on tooling, comfortable for hand work over long sessions.
  • Grain: Straight, even, with the consistent ring structure of slow farm growth. Machines cleanly.
  • Machining: Holds nails and screws near ends without splitting. Glues well with PVA. Occasional resin pockets; plane or scrape past them, not structural.
  • Surface: Supplied rough-sawn. Dress one face true before joinery layout or glue-up.
  • Finishing: Indoor: Rustins Danish oil or clear lacquer. Outdoor: prime and paint, or use an exterior oil for weather resistance.

Limited Stock, Once It’s Gone

Macrocarpa from old farm shelterbelts is finite. The windbreaks planted a century ago are working their way through the mill now and won’t be replanted at scale. We hold the better-grained boards as they come through. Fixed quantity, no reorders. Listed under From the Stacks. When it’s through, the listing closes with it.
