Blackbutt
Blackbutt is a premium Australian hardwood prized for its combination of strength, durability and refined appearance. With a pale caramel to golden-brown heartwood that mellows beautifully with age, Blackbutt displays a straight, even grain and a subtle, warm sheen when finished. Its natural resistance to rot and termites, along with excellent fire performance, makes it a preferred choice for both internal joinery and external applications such as decking, cladding and structural beams.
