Other Species

Messmate

Messmate is an Australian hardwood commonly found across Tasmania, Victoria, and the tablelands of New South Wales and southern Queensland. While not as dense or durable as many heavy infrastructure hardwoods, messmate is valued for its workability, warm natural tones, and suitability for interior architectural uses. It will readily accept stains, paints and polishes. Gum veins are quite common and can make beautiful feature for joinery, wall panelling and furniture.

Spotted Gum

Spotted gum has a lot of variation in colour and grain, and is perfect for benchtops and furniture. It's fairly rare in demolition timbers, and we salvage it from factories, and sometimes telegraph and power poles. Spotted gum came from the east coast forests from the Victoria / NSW border up to Maryborough in QLD. Spotted gum has a lot of variation in colour and grain, from a greeny brown to a chocolate brown and even to a red brown. You can expect to enjoy a lot of interesting grain and fiddleback.

Blackbutt

Blackbutt is renowned for its clean elegant look and natural stability, and is a popular choice for architects, builders and designers. In recycled timber, it keeps its warm, neutral tones, giving a refined yet historic feel to interiors and feature elements.
