Tasmanian Blackwood
Acacia melanozylon
Tasmanian Blackwood is the perfect timber for the creation of fine furniture.    It is a hardwood that is easily worked, stable and long lasting and radiates subtle beauty.   The variety of tonings ranging from light golden-brown to deep brown, sometimes with a reddish tint and occasionally showing black streaks makes Tasmanian Blackwood a classic furniture timber.

Blackwood is highly resilient, yet easy to work.  It cuts, drills, planes and nails quite well and cleanly.  It is a good timber for bending.  It also dresses and turns well and takes a high polish.
