Tallowwood

Eucalyptus Microcorys

Tallowwood is a large tree that grows in the dryer climates of Northern New South Wales and Southern Queensland and is one of the most naturally durable (termite and rot resistance) timbers in the world. It has been a very popular Eastern Australian timber, with its golden honey toning, its exceptional durability and its interesting grain features. Tallowwood offers an elegant neutral toned palette, with no compromise on density or durability.
