The Timber
Warm, dense and resilient, Tasmanian Oak is a sustainable and local timber and the preferred hardwood for a wide range of applications. It works extremely well and produces an excellent finish. It is recognised for its excellent staining qualities, which allow ready matching with other timbers, finishes or furnishings.
Tasmanian Oak can be used in all forms of construction as scantlings, panelling and flooring, and can be gluelaminated to cover long spans. Veneers, plywood and engineered products are also available. Also, a popular furniture timber, the eucalypt fibre possessed within Tasmanian Oak is sought after for reconstituted board and the production of high-quality paper.
The Colour
Tasmanian Oak is light in colour, varying from straw to reddish brown with intermediate shades of cream to pink.
