Tallowwood

Tallowwood is an extremely hard, durable and versatile Australian native hardwood species. Tallowwood exhibits exceptional durability in both in-ground and aboveground applications, where life expectancy is greater than 25 and 40 years, respectively. Tallowwood is highly resistant to decay and will withstand damp and wet conditions quite well.

Current engineering applications include wharf and bridge construction (as sawn and round timber), railway sleepers, cross-arms, poles, piles and mining timbers. Decorative uses include outdoor furniture, turnery and joinery.
