Red Gum is a hardwood that has distinct deep, lustrous red wine hues with inter-twined grains. It is amongst the strongest timber in the world.

It is extremely popular hardwood timber in Australia and around the world. It is a very low maintenance timber - best left to show it's natural grain, no color staining required.

The Australian Red Gum Tree has a natural resistant to termites and is quite common to Australia, meaning it is quite easy to source. It is common to find Red Gum trees well over 100 years old which adds to the characteristics of the wood.

Jarrah features a rich deep red to red-brown tone coloration, which is found only in this Australian hardwood timber.

Jurrah is well known for it's exceptional character and when placed in the hands of a experienced craftsman. Australian Jarrah timber is grown in the far south west corner of Western Australia and is limited in supply, making it one of the more expensive of Australian timbers.

Victorian Ash has a straight grain characteristic and very little or no gum veins. This hardwood's color ranges from pale pinks to red browns and pale straw.

Victorian Ash is sometimes referred to as Mountain Ash or Alpine Ash and even Tasmanian Oak - depending which Australian State you are in!
