BUSINESS PROFILE
A boutique sawmill Bennetts Sawmill is a boutique mill located in the Oxford area covering Rolleston, Darfield, Amberley, Kaikoura, Rangiora and beyond. The mill has been operating for more than 50 years and for the past seven years has been owned by Shellie and Rodney Finnie. “Our main line is douglas fir (oregon). We also have larch and macrocarpa. Our clients are lifestyle block owners, farmers, builders, contractors and everyone else,” said Shellie. “We do a lot of oneoff cuts, such as beams or for that particular size to fit into a house renovation. “For lifestyle block owners I recommend oregon which is the most used timber. The oregon 150x40 millimetre fencing rail is very popular,” said Shellie. “It is a beautiful timber that stays straight and does not twist or warp. After 10 years you will still be pleased with the straight profile when you are looking out your lounge room window.” Shellie says there is a richness of colour in the wood with colours ranging from reds to soft oranges making it suitable for furniture and tables right through to panelling for ceilings and walls. “You can let your mind run wild with your projects for your property such as chicken
