Firewood
Tauriko Firewood does it’s very best to give evenly mixed loads, which include a range of sizes mixed throughout. The mix of species and size gives you what is needed to build a good fire.
Firewood
When it comes to buying firewood, it is important to also have a mix of softwood and hardwood. You need the softwood to get a fire roaring and build a good bed of embers before adding the hardwood which burns hotter and longer but is difficult to ignite without the softwood.
Customers often give positive feedback about the size variations and not needing to split too much with an axe. Some kindling is mixed in or it’s easily split from the smaller pieces.
The Sawmill is open 8am – 4pm Monday to Friday and 8am – 12pm Saturday. Saturday is best for pickups.

Shavings
Untreated wood shavings are a by-product of sawmilling or planing operations, making them an eco-friendly, renewable material. In animal care, their high absorbency, natural odor-absorption, and insulating properties create a comfortable, hygienic bedding.
In the garden, they function as an effective mulch—retaining moisture, suppressing weeds, and slowly adding organic matter as they break down—while used animal bedding can be composted.
