Description
Tasmanian Blackwood – Premium Australian Hardwood
Overview
Tasmanian Blackwood is one of Australia’s most naturally beautiful and versatile timbers. In rough sawn form, it is presented exactly as cut from the log, offering maximum material for you to machine to your exact needs. This hardwood is prized for its rich natural colour contrasts and consistent quality, making it a favourite among both professional and hobbyist woodworkers.
Colour and Appearance
-
Colour Range: From warm tan browns and light golden yellows through to deep chocolate browns.
-
Natural Contrast: Exceptional tonal variation, often within the same board, giving unmatched visual appeal.
-
Grain: Usually straight and fine-textured, with occasional fiddleback or curly figure in select boards.
-
Knots & Blemishes: Rare, resulting in long, clean runs of high-quality timber.
Workability and Advantages
Tasmanian Blackwood is stable, easy to work, and retains its toughness after milling. It cuts, sands, and polishes extremely well, producing a smooth, lustrous finish.
It’s an easy choice for:
-
Woodturning projects
-
Fine furniture making
-
Joinery and cabinetry
-
Musical instrument crafting (such as guitars and ukuleles)
-
Decorative items and feature panels
Sizes and Availability
-
Available in various thicknesses and lengths, with DAR (Dressed All Round) also offered.
-
As a natural product, grain and colour will vary — each piece is unique.
-
For larger quantities, please enquire to confirm availability.
-
Always select dimensions slightly larger than required — you can trim back, but you cannot add material later.
-
Oversized projects can be achieved by laminating multiple blanks.

All Tasmanian Blackwood is responsibly sourced from sustainable forestry and kiln-dried to Australian Quality Standards, ensuring stability, durability, and excellent performance in all climates.
