Myrtle: ( Nothofagus cunninghamii)
Myrtle is a striking wood with rich red, brown, and almost orange tones. Craftsmen enjoy working with red myrtle because the fine aesthetic qualities of the wood is matched by its working properties. Myrtle belongs to the same family as the beeches of Europe. It is found in any of the wet forests across Tasmania. Myrtle regenerates continuously in the absence of fire, growing in openings in the stand providing conditions are moist and sheltered.

Tasmanian Blackwood: ( Acacia melanoxylon)
Tasmanian Blackwood is a hardwood that is easily worked; stable and long-lasting; and radiates subtle beauty. It ranges from light golden brown to deep brown, sometimes with a reddish tint and occasionally showing black streaks. Nearly all Tasmanian Blackwood comes from the so-called Blackwood Swamps near Smithton in the Northwest, where almost pure stands of blackwood trees occur. Here, the harvest is strictly controlled and the forest is managed on a 70 year rotation.
