TASMANIAN OAK TIMBER
Tasmanian Oak is not actually a specific species of timber; rather, it’s a collective term used to describe wood harvested from three eucalypt species native to Tasmania: Eucalyptus regnans, Eucalyptus obliqua, and Eucalyptus delegatensis. It’s highly regarded for its versatility, making it a popular choice in various applications.
Tasmanian Oak is a beautiful Australian hardwood featuring pale, neutral colour with variations of tone from pale pink to reddish-brown.
It’s highly regarded for its versatility, making it a popular choice in various applications. Tasmanian Oak is easy to work with, making it ideal for machining, turning, and staining. The timber generally has a straight grain, with a moderately coarse texture.
