We sell #1 Clear Grade Hoop Pine. This is as good as it gets. It is Australian plantation grown, hoop pine is an Australian native tree (Acuacaria Cunninghamii). This tree is native to the rainforests of northern NSW and Queensland. Originally the plantations were created for sailing ship masts, now they yield timber which according to "Wood in Australia" by Keith Bootle is almost exactly the same strength wise as Douglas Fir (Oregon). It weighs about 530kg per cubic metre. It is ideal for boat building and is also used frequently for homebuilt aircraft construction.
These Hoop Pine lengths are DAR, dressed all round. We stock lengths up to 6 metres, average of 4.8metres. We will cut to length.
Only lengths up to 1 metre can be sent by Australia Post. Lengths up to 2 metres can go with Fastway. Longer lengths must go by truck (Border Express, Followmont etc.) The freight calculator does not automatically work this out, you must select the correct transport. If you wish to buy multiple pieces, enter the total length here and supply a cutting list in the comments to your order or email them separately.
