Abodo New Growth Feature Timbers

New Growth Feature Timbers are the Future

Abodo creates feature timbers that stand for something—a movement toward better forestry and sustainable innovation—by using purpose-grown, rapidly renewable timber from leading New Growth forestry sources to protect ancient, irreplaceable forests.

Rapidly Renewable:
Sustainably grown, FSC® certified timber from biodiverse New Zealand Radiata plantations.

Patented Performance:
Heat tempered and precision-crafted for exceptional performance, stability and longevity. Featuring Abodo's distinctive vertical grain.

Natural Beauty:
Honouring the essence of timber - its grain, texture, and connection to the natural world.

What is Old Growth and Why it Matters

Ancient, old growth forests - sometimes also called primary, natural, native, or indigenous forests - feature mature trees, abundant biodiversity, and important habitats for native flora and fauna.

These revered and ancient ecosystems include the tropical rainforests of Asia, Africa, and South America; Western Red Cedar in Canada; and the protected native forests of Australia.

To establish the Great Koala National Park, the NSW Government has placed a moratorium on logging 176,000 hectares of state forest, expected to limit access to prized native hardwoods like Blackbutt and Spotted Gum over time.

As these resources are likely to become scarcer in the future, our New Growth™ feature timbers, including Vulcan®, offer a sustainable, high-performance alternative—designed for the future of Australian architecture.

The New Standard in Timber Innovation

Once harvested, Abodo enhances its rapidly renewable sourced timbers with a unique heat tempering and vertical grain technology. These innovative processes transform New Growth timbers to significantly improve durability, stability, and weather resilience.

The resulting timber performs like old growth hardwoods, while being straighter, and consistently more dimensionally stable.

Coming in 2026: Our world leading fire retardant timber with BAL 29 compliance and high leach resistance.
