Brought to you by Neville Smith Forest Products since 1924
Tasmanian Oak is Australia’s preferred hardwood for a wide range of domestic and commercial applications and is increasingly the timber of choice for architects, builders and designers looking to achieve high-end decorative finishes across flooring and lining projects.
Its consistent grain is light in colour, varying from straw to reddish brown with intermediate shades of cream to pink, perfectly complementing the modern Australian design aesthetic.
It is also recognised for its easy workability and excellent staining qualities, which allows ready matching with other timbers, finishes and furnishings.
Australia’s largest and most sophisticated manufacturer of Tasmanian Oak products
Neville Smith Forest Products (NSFP) is Australia’s largest producer of Tasmanian regrowth oak products. Since 1924 NSFP has perfected the crafting of decorative Tasmanian Oak products and today under the Abelwood and Woodsmith brands offers an innovative and diverse range of hardwood structural and overlay flooring, engineered flooring, internal wall and ceiling lining, fine mouldings and architraves.
Woodsmith’s Shannon Rise is featured throughout this Flinders residence to create a deeply textural and tonal palette.
Timber is the ultimate renewable
Abelwood and Woodsmith products are increasingly specified, not only because of their unique structural and design properties, but also for their environmental credentials. All NSFP products are sourced from only sustainably harvested, regrowth and plantation PEFC or FSC Certified timber.
