What we do
Located from our home in Ascot, we sell a variety of timber sourced from the south-west of WA. Here are some of the species we offer –
Marri
Marri’s yellow to pale brown heartwood and paler to white sapwood contrast beautifully with the dark red gum that features on the tree’s trunk. It has a coarse but even texture with slightly interlocked grain. The finished timber is honey-coloured with a distinctive vein structure.
Hardwood
Blackbutt
Blackbutt timber has an even texture. The grain can be interlocked but it is generally straight, making it appealing for interior use applications such as flooring and joinery. The heartwood ranges from golden yellow to pale brown, although occasionally a slight pinkish colour may be present.

Yellow stringybark is a hardwood timber used for flooring, decking, construction and structural applications. It features yellow to yellowish-brown heartwood with distinctively paler sapwood. Its grain is medium to fine and mainly straight. Borer resistant and BAL19 rated. A popular choice for builders.

Southern mahogany has deep pink to red-brown heartwood with distinctively paler sapwood. The timber is hard, strong and dense with a medium, even texture and interlocking grain. It is durable and lyctid borers rarely attack the sapwood.

The heartwood varies in colour from rich reds to browns, while sapwood ranges from a pale yellow to orange. The texture of the timber is moderately coarse and even-textured grain.
