The Woodsmiths

Seamless connection is everything.🤝🏼

Once something leaves the workshop, it carries your name as much as ours 🤍

After partnering with kitchen joiners, designers and architects for over 30 years, we’ve found that the best collaborations make a project feel effortless; communication is just as important as the craftsmanship.

We’ve shared a few of the things we look for when collaborating on a project in our latest article. A useful read if you're thinking about your next project partner.

New project 🤎 Proud to have been a part of this beautiful kitchen with Amber Downie from Mastercraft Kitchens NZ, featuring a custom-stained USA Ash benchtop and integrated dining space.

We love seeing timber used to create moments of connection within a kitchen. Extending from the marble island, the benchtop adds warmth and character to the contemporary palette, creating a natural place to gather, share a meal, or enjoy a morning coffee ☕️

Every piece of wood holds history, but these ones are truly special.✨

We are excited to showcase these premium Ancient Rata slabs. Estimated 300-400 years old! Milled on-site, fully certified, and air-dried for 4.5 years to ensure perfect stability. These 5.3m lengths feature stunning grain patterns, making them the ultimate material to craft a true heirloom piece or legacy table that will last for generations. 🪵

Only a very limited number of these rare slabs are available.📬 DM us directly or comment below to start creating your dream piece today!

Highlights from ArchiPro Home Design Evening last night ✨🥂

Thanks to everyone who joined us! We loved meeting so many people, chatting all things timber and interiors, and being part of such a great night alongside the wider design community.

Project spotlight: Lake Hayes Estate📍

We recently collaborated with Leighwells.design and HBH Joinery on this stunning Queenstown home.

Featuring Latho Move C European Oak veneer throughout, we love the way the subtle crosshatch texture catches the light and adds depth to each space ✨

Proud to be the sole distributors of Latho veneer panels in New Zealand, and to collaborate on projects that showcase the range so beautifully.

Can you believe this started as a raw timber log?

Now set within the cosy Barrel Room at Ayrburn, Arrowtown. Every curve and custom panel of this solid USA Ash island was shaped right here in our workshop to create this moody, timeless look.

Solid timber or veneer?🪵

It’s one of the most common questions we get. Both are real wood. Both can look incredible. But the way they’re made changes the movement, repairability, and how they age.

From the depth and repairability of solid timber to the consistency and stability of veneer, each has its place depending on the project.

In our latest article, we break down where each material performs best and what to consider before you specify.
