If a project calls for sawn hardwood rather than a finished timber product, it helps to clarify the specification before contacting a supplier. At Tableland Timbers Pty Ltd, we welcome sawmill enquiries from Coffs Harbour for structural hardwood, decking material, sleepers and cut-to-order timber. Our sawmill is based at Trenayr, near Grafton, and customers can enquire about the timber relevant to their work.
We supply green, rough sawn timber, not dried, dressed or treated boards. That difference affects how an order should be described and may influence the further preparation needed on a job.
For structural applications, bring the required grade and dimensions from the project documentation. For non-structural work, a practical description of the intended use and finish is a useful starting point. Our team can discuss the specification and confirm the applicable supply arrangements when you make contact.

Timber Enquiries in Coffs Harbour
A clear enquiry separates the timber's required performance from the appearance or finish expected at the end of a project.
- Structural grades. We list F8, F11, F14, F17 and F22 in our hardwood range. The grade suitable for a particular load-bearing application must come from the relevant engineering or building specification.
- Available species. The business brief identifies spotted gum, ironbark, blackbutt, tallowwood and turpentine. Species may differ in appearance and performance, so describe the intended use when discussing options.
- Dimensions and numbers. A list showing cross-sections, lengths and quantities helps define the timber required. Where a cut is unusual, include a drawing or measurement detail rather than relying on a general description.
- Green timber considerations. Rough sawn timber has a saw-cut surface and has not been dried. Handling, storage and any extra milling should be considered before it is incorporated into a finished project.
Practical Timber Selection in Coffs Harbour
People approach a sawmill at different stages of a job. Some already have a fully measured cutting schedule, while others are still deciding which type of hardwood is appropriate. In either situation, a description of the end use is more helpful than asking for timber on appearance alone.
For a deck, for example, the board thickness, width, fixings and desired surface finish influence the material discussion. A landscape sleeper has different considerations, particularly if the job involves soil contact or retaining loads.
Structural members add a further requirement: the nominated grade and sizes must align with the project documentation. We avoid treating those different uses as interchangeable.
All our timber is rough sawn and green. We do not dry, dress or treat timber.
If the project needs a dressed board or seasoned material, allow for the necessary work outside our stated sawmill processes. This makes the enquiry more useful.
