Product Details
Celery Top Pine (Phyllocladus aspleniifolius), a Tasmanian endemic conifer milled to thin-section panel proportions. Pale cream to tan heartwood, fine straight grain, and the dimensional stability that has earned the species a place in fine cabinetry, marine joinery, and box-making since the colonial era.
At 12mm dressed thickness, this stock is the dimension Tasmanian cabinetmakers reach for first when the job calls for drawer bottoms, cabinet backs, or decorative panel inserts that need to stay flat.
Why Celery Top Pine
Tasmania produces a handful of timber species that are genuinely difficult to replicate from mainland supply. Celery Top Pine is one of them. The species grows slowly on the west coast of Tasmania, and the result is a softwood with the stability of a hardwood, fine, even grain, consistent density, no wild knot structure. For panel work, drawer bottoms, and fine scroll-saw applications where thin stock must remain flat and machine cleanly at scale, this is the timber the trade has returned to for over a century. We pack thin-section Celery Top carefully for transit north. Ships in limited quantities as the mill can spare them.
Working Properties
- Hardness: Firm for a softwood. Holds an edge for fine joinery work. Light and easy to handle in long thin sections.
- Grain: Fine, straight, even. Planes cleanly, holds detail under scrapers and fretsaws.
- Machining: Cuts and shapes cleanly with sharp hand and power tools. Takes oil and lacquer evenly. Holds glue well.
- Surface: Supplied rough-sawn. At 12mm thickness, dress lightly and only what you need to true the face.
- Finishing: Rustins Danish oil warms the tone without darkening the pale colour. Clear lacquer for cabinet-grade interior work.
