Tasmanian Blackwood Block 620mmx95mmx290mm

Tasmanian Blackwood – Highly Figured (Premium Grade)

Tasmanian Blackwood is one of Australia’s most sought-after feature timbers, and when it’s highly figured, it’s in a class of its own. Expect dramatic fiddleback, curl, and flowing grain that shimmers under finish and delivers serious wow-factor straight off the lathe.

Where it’s found
Native to Tasmania and southern Australia, Blackwood grows naturally along river systems, gullies, and cool temperate forests. The slower growth in these environments is what produces the tight grain and prized figure seen in select pieces.

Why this timber stands out

• Rich golden-brown to chocolate tones with natural contrast

• Eye-catching fiddleback and curly figure

• Excellent turning and machining characteristics

• Finishes beautifully with strong chatoyance

• Ideal for statement bowls, boxes, furniture highlights, and showcase work

This is a premium feature timber chosen when you want the grain to steal the show.
