Jarrah timber is assuredly a sustainable
natural resource the harvest is of which is now strictly controlled by the
government of Western
Australia.*
The rare, natural beauty
of timber from a jarrah tree has a fine, variable grain with occasional
natural features. Colours range
from a rich chocolate brown to a soft salmon pink.
Jarrah is a unique eucalypt, growing
only in the South West corner of Australia.
Historically, Jarrah’s hard-wearing
nature saw massive quantities exported as railway sleepers and to cobble some of
the great cities of Europe.
In
Australia the timber has been extensively used
in construction. One of the best
examples is the Busselton jetty which has been in service for well over a
century and extends 1837 metres into the Indian Ocean.
