Description
Tasmanian Oak – Versatile Australian Hardwood
Overview
Tasmanian Oak is a premium Australian hardwood renowned for its versatility, clean appearance, and reliable workability. Unique in composition, it’s not a single species but a blend of closely related eucalypts — Mountain Ash, Victorian Ash, Tasmanian Oak, and Messmate.
In this form, one face is sawn while the other is skip dressed — lightly machined just enough to reveal part of the grain, making it easy to assess the colour and texture.
Colour and Appearance
-
Colour Range: Light cream through to soft pink, sometimes with subtle warm brown tones.
-
Grain: Generally straight and even, with a fine texture for a smooth, clean finish.
-
Natural Features: Gum veins often occur, adding unique character to each board.
Properties and Workability
Tasmanian Oak is easy to work with, machines cleanly, glues well, and accepts stains and finishes for custom looks. Its consistent density makes it suitable for both decorative and structural work.
This hardwood is perfect for:
-
Furniture making

Drawer boxes and cabinetry components
-
Wall and ceiling panelling
-
Interior joinery and shelving
