A very hard, heavy Australian wood with high durability and resistance to decay. Very common and widely used in Australia for numerous applications including marine work and flooring, but also used for decorative objects from the attractive burl and high end furniture from figured pieces, which sometimes occur due to interlocked grain. Reportedly can be difficult to work due to density. Seems to have a broad color range in the red/orange/browns.
my samples:
sample plank and end grain sold to me as jarrah / Eucalyptus marginata
jarrah veneer --- HUGE enlargements are present. This sample was contributed to the site by David Clark whom I thank for this and other contributions to the site.
