Tasmanian Oak
TASMANIAN OAK Eucalyptus Delegatenis
Widely distributed throughout the mountainous areas of Tasmania, Victoria and southern New South Wales. Eucalyptus Regnans has the distinction of being the world's tallest flowering plant, some trees being recorded at over 100 metres.
The two species are recognised for their colour consistency, which ranges from a pale pink to a pale straw colour
Tasmanian Oak is generally quarter sawn which means it has a straight grain pattern on the face of the board. Quarter sawn timber is very stable and very rarely will any cupping be found. The sawn timber has a course texture but will sand to a smooth finish.
It generally takes stain or paint well.
