Kings Fourth Generation Woodworking

The company produces solid timber benchtops from their standard range of 36 timbers which retain their natural beauty while providing a practical and beautiful working surface.

The current firm of Kings Fourth Generation Woodworking Company has a history dating back to 1887 when Daniel Thomas King arrived in Carterton in the heart of the Wairarapa, with his wife and family, after travelling over the rugged Rimutaka Ranges from Tawa Flat, near Wellington, by horse and buggy.

In Carterton, he started a general joinery and contracting shop which became a well-established part of the town. He served on the town council and was very involved in the Methodist Church.

The company grew in step with the development of the Carterton township, and according to the Cyclopedia of NZ -

".... in 1907 the present fine premises, consisting of a two-storeyed wood and iron building measuring forty-one feet by eighty feet, was erected, containing a showroom, a well appointed office, a factory, and storerooms, all fitted up with a complete plant of wood-working machinery driven by a six horsepower oil engine."

We are associated with Lasergrain

Kings Fourth Generation has an ongoing involvement with the Wairarapa International Balloon Fiesta.
