Blackbutt

Description

Blackbutt is a species that grows in abundance in the coastal forests in New South Wales and southern Queensland.
The common name is derived from the distinctive black, charcoal look that is only on the base of the trunk. The
timber is renowned for both its strength and versatility of application. Blackbutt is a straight grained timber, with a warm nutty hue which will compliment a range of interior designs where a lighter neutral palette is required.
