Brushbox is a highly regarded hardwood known for its rich, warm reddish-brown colour that deepens with age. It features a fine, even grain and a smooth texture, making it visually appealing for various applications. Its strength and durability make it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

The straight grain pattern and density of Brushbox contribute to its resistance to wear and tear, making it an excellent choice for flooring, furniture, cabinetry, and outdoor decking. Its natural beauty enhances any interior space, while its robust characteristics ensure it stands up to the rigours of everyday use.

Native to eastern Australia, Brushbox thrives in rainforests and coastal regions, primarily found in New South Wales and Queensland. These trees can reach impressive heights, further contributing to the availability of quality timber.

Despite its density, Brushbox is relatively easy to work with, although sharp tools may be required for cutting and shaping. Its versatility and aesthetic appeal make it a favourite among architects, builders, and homeowners seeking a high-quality timber that combines functionality with elegance.
