The story behind each timber Australian Mulga (burnt caramel) Mulga is an incredibly dense hardwood that is found in the arid regions of Western Australia, South Australia, Queensland, Northern Territory and New South Wales . This timber was traditionally used to make boomerangs and spears. Australian Ancient Redgum (very dark fudge, almost black) Ancient redgum is a very special native timber. It’s been buried for thousands of years under layers of river sediment. In that time it’s been absorbing minerals in the soil and turned from red to almost black. This timber comes from Victoria.

It’s created by the large medullary rays that run through the timber and the circular nature of the ring accentuates the pattern.

It has an incredible natural shimmer that is created by the grain changing directions. Australian Myrtle (pink) This beautiful Tasmanian native timber is highly regarded for fine furniture.
