TIMBER DESCRIPTION

Blackbutt / Dense Browns are grouped together because they have a similiar density and colour, and are very durable - excellent for hard wearing bench tops and for exterior applications. Blackbutt is the main species, with small amounts of Stringybark, Silvertop Ash and Tallowwood of a similiar colour in the mix. These species originally mainly came from the NSW & QLD coastal forests.

Blackbutt is a light brown coloured hardwood, very dense and hard.

Blackbutt: Eucalyptus pilularis, Eucalyptus andrewsii, Eucalyptus campanulata

USES

Excellent for exterior applications like decking and cladding. The density and hardness also makes it great for bench tops and flooring. Always a popular timber for furniture as the mid browns go well with a wide range of other furnishings and decor.
