About Abodo

The New Standard in Timber Innovation

Abodo exists to create feature timbers that stand for something, a movement toward better forestry practices and sustainable innovation.

To protect ancient, irreplaceable forests, we use purpose-grown, rapidly renewable timber from the best New Growth forestry sources.

Rapidly Renewable:
Sustainably grown, FSC® certified timber from biodiverse New Zealand Radiata plantations.

Patented Performance:
Heat tempered and precision-crafted for exceptional performance, stability and longevity. Featuring Abodo's distinctive vertical grain.

Natural Beauty:
Honouring the essence of timber - its grain, texture, and connection to the natural world.

Project Feature

Crafted Crib – Jack's Point, New Zealand

The cosy, cabin-like flavour of this holiday home in Queenstown comes down to a restrained material palette led by Abodo timbers. As it is used as a holiday home, the performance of the weatherboards was also a key consideration, as they are able to withstand extreme changes in temperature without warping or bending.

We Exist to Make Feature Timbers that Stand for Something

Impact Report 2026

Featured designer

Felicity Brenchley

Using an array of natural finishes and materials, architect Felicity Brenchley’s own coastal home in Mahurangi is designed with sustainability in mind.

Colours had to be dark with glazing recessed below eaves to reduce reflectivity from the marine reserve. This informed the design from the outset, as did our aim to use, durable and sustainable materials such as Abodo."
