Victorian Ash
Eucalyptus regnans
Victorian Ash (Mountain Ash) is an Australian native hardwood characterised by its consistent colour, straight grain, and high strength and durability. This timber is highly suitable for flooring, interior panelling, furniture, and framing.
Colour
Victorian ash can range from a pale pink to pale yellow or brownish colour. Gum streaks are also a common appearance feature.
Strength
Victorian ash is used as high-strength framing timber in Australia. It is strong and stable and offers good all-round workability. It is an ideal timber for internal applications and furniture.
Durability
Untreated Victorian Ash has in-ground durability of up to 5 years, and moderate 7–15-year durability above ground in exterior environments.
Finish
Victorian Ash can be untreated, or light stains, oils, and paints will provide extended preservation of timber.
Features
A strong and stable timber, Victorian ash offers good all round workability. It planes, sands, finishes and glues well, and will readily steam and bend. This makes Victorian ash an ideal timber for internal applications and furniture.
