Why Blackbutt is Australia’s Premier Timber:
Blackbutt (Eucalyptus pilularis) is considered the foremost sawlog species in NSW, accounting for over 22% of premium building materials. This slab showcases everything that makes blackbutt exceptional – the beautiful golden coloration, straight grain patterns, and natural durability that has made it Australia’s most trusted hardwood.
The Blackbutt Story:
The distinctive name comes from the tree’s appearance after bushfires, where the base (or “butt”) becomes darkened while the upper trunk remains smooth and pale. This natural fire resistance has been perfected over centuries, making blackbutt one of nature’s most resilient timbers.
Perfect For:
-
High-end residential projects

Commercial fit-outs requiring durability
