Australia is fortunate to have a wide array of hardwoods that each have a distinct look and texture that can enrich any project. From the blondes of Blackbutt and White Mahogany and the unique grain features of Spotted Gum and Tallowwood to the rich reds of Sydney Blue Gum and Red Mahogany and the beautiful pink blushes Flooded (Rose) Gum, the broad colour palette of timbers available will suit any building project indoors or outdoors. The natural colour variation found in hardwood timber is one of its most appealing attributes.

Timber is a natural product and each log is unique in colour and character. Even within one species there will be natural variations. Some species will exhibit small variations while others vary greatly from log to log and within the log. It should be remembered no matter how big a sample of a species you have seen they are only indicative of the species colour and natural variation that may be expected.

NOTE: The natural colour variation within a timber species is normal and one of its most appealing attributes. The species samples shown here are indicative only and do not necessarily show the colour variation that can be naturally found in each species. It is recommended that large samples of the species be viewed in a timber flooring showroom when deciding on the species for a new timber floor.
