Blackbutt / Dense Browns

Our Blackbutt / Dense Browns mix is a light brown tone, great for anything from decking, cladding and flooring, to benchtops and furniture.

RECYCLED FROM Building demolitions in Sydney and further north along the east coast.

TIMBER KNOWLEDGE Blackbutt / Dense Browns are grouped together because they have a similiar density and colour, and are very durable - excellent for hard wearing bench tops and for exterior applications. Blackbutt is the main species, with small amounts of stringybark, silvertop ash and tallowwood of a similar colour in the mix. These species originally mainly came from the NSW & QLD coastal forests.

Blackbutt is a light brown coloured hardwood, very dense and hard.

Blackbutt: Eucalyptus pilularis, Eucalyptus andrewsii, Eucalyptus campanulata
