Please note: Blackbutt is one of the species we supply for Mixed Pales to achieve this colour range.

A beautiful hardwood, Blackbutt presents a relatively straight and uniform grain with an appealing colour palette, ranging from cream to pale brown with a hint of pink. Contemporary by nature, when freshly cut the truewood is pale brown with a hint of pink, whilst the sapwood (although sometimes indistinguishable from the truewood) is usually slightly paler in colour. With a reputation for excellence, Kennedys Class One Durability Blackbutt is in high demand within the commercial building industry. Our recycled Blackbutt is graded according to the Interim Industry Standards whilst our new certified Blackbutt is AFS approved (Australian Forestry Standard).
