Timber Species
Camphor Laurel
Cinnamomum camphora. Camphor laurel yields a beautiful, rich honey-coloured timber with a clean, fresh camphor smell that is perfect for furniture, carving, and cabinetry. The tree is native to Taiwan, southern Japan, southeast China and Indochina, where it has great cultural significance as a source of scent, oil and crystallised blocks for use in religious ceremonies and for medicinal purposes. It is used as a valuable timber for furniture and carving icons. The camphor laurel's extraordinary strong dark grain against a yellow base creates distinctive furniture. In the past it has been exported to Asia and later re-imported as a finished furniture product. It is also recommended for use as slabs in kitchen benchtops, tables and shelves, as well as decorative veneers, internal lining boards and turned or hand-carved bowls.
Red Cedar
Red cedar wood is a highly prized, aromatic timber known for its rich, reddish-brown color and durability. Native to North America, it is valued for its natural resistance to decay, insects, and moisture, making it ideal for outdoor applications such as decking, fencing, and siding. The wood has a distinctive, pleasant fragrance and is lightweight yet strong, which makes it easy to work with while maintaining stability. Red cedar's unique combination of beauty, resilience, and versatility has made it a popular choice in crafting furniture, shingles, and even in creating saunas.
Rosegum
Rosegum, also known as Eucalyptus grandis, is a hardwood native to eastern Australia. This timber is prized for its striking pale pink to reddish-brown color and fine, even texture. Rosegum is known for its strength, durability, and resistance to wear, making it an excellent choice for flooring, cabinetry, and outdoor furniture. The wood is also relatively easy to work with, offering smooth finishes and good stability. Due to its aesthetic appeal and performance, rosegum is a popular choice in both residential and commercial applications, adding a touch of natural beauty and sophistication to any project.
Tallowwood
Eucalyptus microcorys. Tallowwood timber products exhibit exceptional durability in both in-ground and aboveground applications. Decorative uses include outdoor furniture, turnery and joinery. Other applications include boat building, the construction of coaches, carriages and agricultural machinery, and structural plywood.
Redgum
Eucalyptus camaldulensis. Also known as Blue Gum, River Red Gum, Murray River Gum, yarrow, Eucalyptus Rostrata. The timber has a reputation for durability, strength and its distinctive red colouring. Its wide availability has seen it used for a range of applications including heavy construction, railway sleepers, flooring, framing, fencing, plywood and veneer manufacture, wood turning, firewood and charcoal production.
Silky Oak
Grevillea robusta. The common name reflects the silky texture of freshly split wood and the prominent ray cells that resemble those found in English Oak. The non-durable, yet attractive wood was traditionally used for furniture, particularly table tops, and can be seen in a lot of antique furniture. Common uses - veneer, cabinetry, fine furniture, musical instruments, turned objects, and other small specialty items
Bunya Pine
The bunya pine, or Araucaria bidwillii, is one of the most impressive trees in Australia. Since the mid-1990s, the Australian company Maton has used bunya for the soundboards of its BG808CL Performer acoustic guitars. The Cole Clark company, also Australian, uses bunya for the majority of its acoustic guitar soundboards. The timber is valued by cabinet makers and woodworkers, and has been used for carpentry and furniture for over a century.
Hoop Pine
Araucaria cunninghamii. Hoop pine is a Queensland timber whose ease of use has made it popular for general construction purposes, flooring, joinery, shelving and cupboards, furniture, and plywood. When treated with preservatives it is suitable for outdoor uses such as fencing, pergolas, landscaping, retaining walls, and playground equipment. It is also used for a variety of non-architectural and non-building purposes, such as the manufacture of musical instruments, drafting instruments and brushware.
Sally Wattle
Acacia melanoxylon. Also known as Australian blackwood, Tasmanian blackwood, black wattle, hickory, mudgerabah, Paluma blackwood or simply blackwood. Blackwood is prolific across south-eastern Australia and is not considered to be threatened. It is generally planted and harvested sustainably, and about a third of total Blackwood forest types are reserved. Though blackwood has myriad uses, it is most prized for its beautiful, naturally lustrous timber, which is commonly used in cabinets and other furniture and veneers, as well as flooring, boats, musical instruments and decorative pieces
