Blackbutt

About

Blackbutt is a strong durable Eucalyptus Hardwood that grows along the East Coast of Australia. The base of the tree is covered in a rough thick bark that chars black in a fire, hence the name “Blackbutt”. It’s a rich colour timber in a variety of tones depending upon its source’s latitude and elevation. Clean straight grain and an even texture, the occasional distinctive dark sap lines appear. We use a hardwax oil to finish this timber.
