Sap3 packs
Mostly sapwood, the paler outer wood, with a lighter, more even colour.
Heritage3 packs
Full of character. Pinholes and tight, sound knots in any number. Chosen for character, not a clear look.
Sap heritage1 pack
Sapwood with heritage character.
Mixed5 packs
Heart and sapwood together as they came off the saw, not sorted by colour.

The mill's cleaner flooring grade.
Eucalyptus No. 26 packs
More natural features than No. 1.
Rimu premium, mixed colour1 pack
Select rimu with both light and dark colour in the pack.

Every pack is natural timber, so colour and features vary from board to board. The photos are of the actual pack.
