Blackbutt
What Is Blackbutt Timber?
Blackbutt is a type of hardwood timber sourced from the Blackbutt tree, native to Australia. It is characterised by its light to medium yellow-brown color and a straight, uniform grain pattern. Blackbutt is known for its strength, durability and fire resistance, making it a popular choice for furniture, construction, flooring and decking applications. It has a medium to coarse texture and a moderate natural lustre. It is relatively stable, with low shrinkage and minimal tendency to twist or warp, and it is also resistant to decay and insect attack. Blackbutt is a renewable resource and is often sustainably managed to ensure its continued availability.
