Macrocarpa beams

Yesterday was an exciting day as we went to see our macrocarpa timber beams being sawn. It is one of our objectives to source as much as possible materials locally and it is pretty cool to have a sawmill 500 metres "down the road" (Ticehurst).
The macrocarpa beams are used for the apex and other parts of the roof structure. The same timber is also used for external posts for the verandah/deck. The macrocarpa will not require chemical treatment and the finish will be natural oils.
