Rough Sawn WOCA Black Cladding

Rough Sawn Timber Cladding in Australian Hardwoods – Finished with Woca Black Oil

Looking for a striking black timber cladding solution that’s durable, easy to maintain, and cost-effective? Our sawn Australian hardwood cladding, coated with Woca Black Oil, offers a rich, deep black finish with a natural textured aesthetic—making it a fantastic alternative to charred timber (Shou Sugi Ban) while providing unique benefits of its own.

Why Choose Sawn Timber Cladding with Woca Black Oil?

1. Natural Texture & Rustic Appeal
   Sawn timber cladding retains the organic grain patterns and textured surface of natural wood, giving each board a unique character. The sawn finish enhances depth and variation, perfect for contemporary, rustic, or industrial-style designs.
2. Deep Black Finish with Long-Lasting Protection
   Coated with Woca Black Oil, the timber achieves a rich, uniform black tone that enhances the grain while protecting the wood from moisture, UV exposure, and general wear. The penetrating oil nourishes the timber, helping it maintain its beauty over time.
3. Easy Maintenance & Recoating
   Unlike traditional coatings or surface treatments, Woca Black Oil is simple to maintain. A periodic recoat refreshes the finish, ensuring long-term durability without the need for intensive refinishing.
4. Cost-Effective & Sustainable
   By using high-quality Australian hardwoods and Woca Black Oil, this cladding offers a cost-effective alternative to charred timber while still delivering a bold architectural statement. Additionally, the oil is plant-based and low-VOC, making it an eco-friendly choice for sustainable building projects.
5. Durable Australian Hardwoods Built to Last
   Our cladding is crafted from premium Australian hardwood species such as Blackbutt, Spotted Gum, and Ironbark—known for their strength, durability, and resistance to weathering, termites, and rot. These hardwoods perform exceptionally well in both residential and commercial applications.

Perfect for a Range of Applications

• External facades & architectural features
• Interior accent walls & ceilings
• Outdoor structures & fencing
• High-end residential & commercial projects

POPULAR GRADINGS

• SELECT

The feature present or natural discolouration will not dominate its appearance. Features that are permitted still include short narrow gum veins, a limited number and size of past borer activity and small tight knots.

• STANDARD

Significantly more character than Select Grade. To some degree this will depend on the features present in a particular species. In one species gum veins may naturally be prevalent while in another there may be few gum veins but past borer activity may be more prevalent. Therefore, this grade can be expected to have greater character than Select Grade, and contain an increased amount of gum vein, past borer activity, tight knots and natural discolouration.

• PRESTIGE (Also known as Standard & Better)

Best referred to as effectively a mix of Standard Grade and Select Grade.

• FEATURE

A timber that contains boards with similar features to Medium Feature Standard Grade but where the length of features such as gum veins may be longer and past borer activity may be more frequent. Again, depending on the species, features will vary and in some instances boards meeting high feature grade may only appear moderately featured.

• RUSTIC

Best referred to as a mixture of Feature Grade and Standard Grade.

• COVER

This grade contains more than the permissible number of natural features and shorter lengths. Cover Grade will contain miss-machining/manufacturing defaults, and can contain large amounts of gum vein, knot holes and other natural features such as holes.  

WHAT IS A JANKA RATING?

The Janka Ratings you see on this website refer to how "hard" a timber is. The harder the timber, the higher the rating. So a timber with a rating of 15 is very different in strength to the softest timber we sell, which has a rating of 3.

Affordable Quality:

Nationwide Timber provides great value and we don't compromise on price. The vast range of timber we supply and our buying power with local mills means you get the best of both worlds - premium quality at exceptional prices you won't believe.

Sustainably Australian:

Beautiful timber shouldn't cost the Earth, and that's why we proudly supply "Australian Made", which means that most of the timber we sell comes from iconic Australian hardwoods.
