Blackbutt

(Eucalyptus pilularis)

Blackbutt is one of the most abundant of the coastal hardwood species from southern NSW through to southern Qld. It is generally a pale brown colour but may also exhibit a slight pink tinge.

Although it has a lighter colouration, Blackbutt is a suitable alternative to commonly requested Spotted Gum, having similar durability, density and hardness properties and is even more readily available.

Janka Hardness: 8.9
Natural Durability: Class #1 (above ground)
Dry Density: ≈ 900 kg/M3
