Messmate Timber

Messmate. Eucalyptus obliqua

Messmate furniture is crafted from Messmate hardwood and has gum veins and natural characteristics not found in other timbers. The natural colour palette consists of brown to light-brown hues, and is often stained a darker colour. It measures about 830kg per cubic meter, which is typical of the average Australian hardwood.

The variety of grain and texture of Messmate make it ideal for families with kids as the finish is more forgiving with bumps and scratches. Some of our Messmate is reclaimed from old buildings, which adds to the character of this ruggedly handsome timber.

This tree (Eucalyptus obliqua) is found wide spread from South Australia, through southern Victoria, to Tasmania and eastern New South Wales. It’s most likely to grow in wet forests and coastal regions. Previous common uses include timber floor boards, paling fences and tomato stakes.
