Myrtle
Nothofagus cunninghamii

Myrtle is a striking wood with rich red, brown and almost orange tones.   

The colour is vibrant,combining subtle variations in tone with the texture and sheen of wavy and fiddleback features to produce a surface alive with character and individuality.
Taking a deep lustre when polished, myrtle is prized furniture makers and craft workers.  Myrtle turns well and traditionally has been used for spindle turning and bowls.   

Myrtle is an excellent bending timber, 25mm material bends well to a radius of 75mm.

We have some spectacular Tiger Myrtle in stock as well as Myrtle.
