Sustainably Sourced Materials & Expert Craftsmanship
Our pine supers feature natural knots that don't affect performance, and each corner is securely assembled with 120 x 65mm premium screws. We hot-wax-dip and paint the supers using high-quality outdoor oil-based enamel for extra longevity.
All frames and foundations are crafted from sustainably grown New Zealand plantation pine and 100% pure Victorian beeswax. The pine is CNC cut by FSC-certified Alliance Woodware (ProWood) in New Zealand, ensuring precise construction and sustainability.
Important Shipping Note for Ready-To-Go Frames
Our beeswax foundation sheets travel well on their own, but when they’re pre-installed in frames, postage can sometimes be a little rough. Despite our best packing efforts, the wax foundations may crack in transit.
If receiving your foundations in perfect condition is essential, we recommend purchasing your frames and foundations separately and assembling them at home.
Our Post-Safe packages are perfect for posting and we also stock both the manual wax embedders and the electric. Here are 3 links you may find helpful.
