Tasmanian Oak (or Australian Oak)refers to the hardwood produced by three trees: Eucalyptus regnans, Eucalyptus obliqua or Eucalyptus delegatensis, when it is sourced from the Australian state of Tasmania.
When sourced from Victoria, the wood of Eucalyptus regnans and Eucalyptus delegatensis is called Victorian Ash.
The hardwood timber is light-coloured, ranging from straw to light reddish brown with intermediate shades of cream to pink. The timber has straight, open and even grain with a texture that is open, uniform and fairly coarse.
Tasmanian oak is a warm and highly resilient, easily worked, and readily available hardwood. It is used for flooring, framing, laminated beams, boarding, stairs, panelling, mouldings, furniture, veneers and finishing. Tas oak has also been used untreated and internally in marine craft construction and bridges. Its structural uses in treated poles, posts, piles, sleepers etc. are considerable.
Tasmanian oak is a warm dense, hard wearing hardwood with high impact resistance.
