Spotted Gum is a premium Australian hardwood valued for its strength, durability, and striking appearance. The heartwood ranges from pale to dark brown or chocolate tones, while the sapwood is noticeably lighter. The timber has a moderately coarse texture and variable grain, often featuring wavy grain that creates an attractive fiddleback figure. A slightly greasy feel and the presence of gum veins are common. Typically, resource grown in QLD has darker colour tones and is slightly denser, stronger and more durable when compared to NSW grown timber.
