Queensland sandalwood live edge slab, one only

This Queensland sandalwood live edge slab is a single piece of Eremophila mitchellii. This piece is golden-brown, with a long natural opening running down the middle and a bark edge on one side. The slab in the photos is the slab you get.

What is Queensland Sandalwood?

Queensland sandalwood is the timber of Eremophila mitchellii, a hardy small tree of the dry inland country, also known as budda. The wood is very hard and naturally oily, holds its sweet scent for years and polishes to a high gloss.

Working a Queensland sandalwood live edge slab

• Surface: Double dressed, faces only. The edges are left natural.
• Grain: Fine and even, golden-brown with a natural lustre.
• Scent: A sweet, smoky scent that lasts long after finishing.
• Sanding: The natural oils clog paper quickly, so change sheets often.
• Finishing: Takes oil and wax well. We recommend Rustins Danish oil to bring up the contrast between sapwood and heartwood.
• Natural features: Bark, sapwood, checks and holes are part of the character and are shown in the photos. We recommend removing the bark before use, as it tends to fall off naturally over time.

Good projects

• A serving or cheese board
• A small shelf or display piece
• Boxes, carving and small turned parts
