jarrah is the aboriginal name for the
australian eucalyptus tree. a hard,
dense and heavy timber, which was
also known as swan river mahogany
due to the similarity of mature aged
jarrah to mahogany.
because of its strength and resistance
to rot and termites jarrah is much used
in construction, and many of the united
kingdoms roads were built using large
jarrah blocks in the base which were
then covered in asphalt. also used
in the making of musical instruments
and hot tubs. the jarrah flowers
make an aromatic honey.
freshly milled jarrah is a combination of
rich dark red brown with deep chocolate
making this a very striking floor when
freshly milled and laid. over the months
and years it matures to a wonderful dense
russet brown. the figure is exceptional
with high arches on almost every board.
a handsome masculine wood which will
appeal to those who desire something
different and special. for striking
contemporary interiors. stunning in
minimal kitchens with bulthaup or
siematic units and marble worktops
