Custom timber machining for complex and specialised projects
Cedarlite provides specialist custom timber machining for builders, architects, joiners and other manufacturers. Combining modern five-axis CNC technology with the practical knowledge of experienced timber joiners, we can produce everything from accurate repeat components to complex one-off pieces.
We can work from architectural drawings, CAD files, physical samples or an initial concept and, where required, help develop a practical manufacturing solution. Talk to Cedarlite about your custom timber machining requirements and we'll work with you to find the right solution for the project.

- Five-axis CNC machining for complex shapes and repeatable accuracy
- Custom timber components from drawings, CAD files or physical samples
- Prototypes, one-off timber pieces and repeat production runs manufactured
Based in Auckland, we work on projects throughout New Zealand and welcome international enquiries.
Custom timber components made to your specifications
Our machining capabilities cover architectural, construction and manufacturing applications, as well as reproduction work where an existing timber component or profile needs to be recreated.
We can manufacture:
- Stair treads and stair components
- Commercial timber joinery components
- Custom fascia boards and exterior profiles
- Custom building materials and architectural components
- Timber louvres
- Curved and shaped timber components
- Custom mouldings and profiles
- Window and door components
- Reproduction of existing and heritage profiles
- CNC routing, drilling, profiling and shaping
- Prototypes, one-off items and repeat production runs
Whether you need a single unusual component or multiple pieces manufactured consistently to the same specifications, talk to us about what you're trying to achieve.
Five-axis CNC technology combined with timber joinery expertise
Our five-axis CNC machinery allows us to manufacture complicated shapes, compound angles and timber components that require a high level of repeatable accuracy. It can be used for complex one-off pieces as well as components that need to be reproduced consistently across a production run.
The technology is backed by the practical knowledge of experienced timber joiners who understand how different timbers move, machine and perform once they're put to use. The combination of advanced machining and traditional joinery expertise allows us to approach each project with an understanding of both the required specifications and the timber itself. This capability can be particularly useful for heritage and character buildings where replacement components need to correspond with existing timber work, as well as projects where an older or unusual profile is no longer readily available.
What we need to quote your custom machining project
Providing as much information as possible at the beginning helps us understand the scope of the work and how the component needs to perform.
Useful information includes:
- Drawings, CAD files or a physical sample
- Timber species or performance requirements
- Required quantities
- Finished dimensions and tolerances
- Whether components require sanding, finishing or additional joinery
- The required completion date
We can machine customer-supplied timber by prior agreement or source suitable timber for your project.
Have a timber component that's difficult to manufacture?
Contact Cedarlite - send us your drawings, CAD files or a sample and tell us what you need to achieve. If you're still working through the details, we can also discuss your initial concept and help develop a practical approach to manufacturing it.
Yes. We can work from a physical sample as well as architectural drawings, CAD files or an initial concept. This can be particularly useful when an existing profile or component needs to be reproduced.
Yes. Our custom machining includes prototypes and one-off pieces as well as repeat production runs where components need to be manufactured consistently.
Yes. If you have an initial concept rather than a completed drawing or CAD file, we can help develop a practical manufacturing solution.
Potentially, yes. We can machine customer-supplied timber by prior agreement, or Cedarlite can source suitable timber for the project.
