Tasmanian Blackwood (Acacia melanoxylon) is one of Australia’s great cabinet timbers — native to Tasmania and the cooler forests of south-eastern Australia, and long regarded as a genuine alternative to Walnut for anyone building fine furniture. The heartwood ranges from golden-brown through to a deep chocolate, often with a striking fiddleback or wavy figure that makes individual boards worth choosing on sight rather than by the metre.What it’s good for: Blackwood is a cabinet-maker’s timber first — it’s used extensively in furniture, joinery, cabinetry and musical instruments (it’s a respected tonewood for guitar backs and sides), and it turns and carves well too, which makes it a favourite for bowls and other turned pieces. It machines cleanly, glues well and finishes to a deep, warm lustre.What we stockWe hold Tasmanian Blackwood as dressed boards, sawn timber and turning blanks, with figured and fiddleback stock coming through from time to time — those pieces don’t last long, so if you’re after something with real character it’s worth calling ahead or coming in to see what’s on the racks.We’ve stocked Tasmanian Blackwood since we opened our doors in 1969, and it remains one of the timbers our regulars ask for by name. Whether you’re building a dining table, a set of drawers or turning a single bowl blank, we can match the board to the job. We ship Australia-wide, or you’re welcome to hand-select your own timber at our Mulgrave yard.
