Hydrowood

Lost underwater in Tasmania’s untamed west, an ancient forest stood long forgotten, until today. Thanks to an incredible vision, and even more incredible feats of modern engineering, we are undertaking one of Australia’s most ambitious forestry projects. We are creating history by delving deep below the waters of Lake Pieman to resurrect the precious timber below. This project has unlocked supplies of specialty timbers so scarce they were thought almost gone forever. Species such as Tasmanian Myrtle, Sassafras and even the legendary Huon Pine will once again be available in quantity. This is real timber. Timber (re) discovered. Timber that master builders dream of working with, harvested in a way you wouldn’t believe and in quantities the world thought it would never see again.

Sustainability 

When David first flew his Cessna over Pieman Lake he never would have guessed at the treasure hidden below the water’s surface. Three years, and a lot of hard work later, David, Andrew and their team have discovered the largest quantity of environmentally friendly specialty Tasmanian timber found in years. Most species we harvest are in short supply and almost never found as intact logs. And they certainly don’t come with such a unique story. This isn’t recycled wood already used and full of rusty bolts and nails. And it isn’t reclaimed wood found on a musty forest floor, years dead and scavenged from amongst the leaf litter. This is real wood. Solid timber that comes untouched and intact. Wood that craftsmen and master builders dream of working with. Wood with a story to tell, a character like no other and in quantities thought never to be seen again. This is Hydrowood. And now it is available to you.
