The name ‘Tasmanian Blackwood’ is somewhat misleading as the timber is never black, but instead variety of colours ranging from light golden-brown to deep brown with a reddish hue. It will occasionally have some black streaks and maybe this is where the name originates.
We introduced Blackwood into our range, as we wanted to offer a mid-dark brown local species, without the strong red usually associated with Australian furniture timber species.
The Blackwood we use is sourced from sustainably managed forests in Tasmania and the tree itself is a fast growing species that establishes itself all the way from low lying areas to higher slopes and occasionally mountain tops.
It is easy to work with and is a strong and stable timber with a colour palette and grain that makes it quite unique.
