Brush Box Wood Block (38x38x150mm)

Brush Box blocks are a favoured choice in woodworking, particularly for crafting items requiring durability and an attractive finish, like knife handles. Sourced from the Brush Box tree, predominantly found in Eastern Australia, this hardwood is valued for its unique qualities.

Characteristics:

• Source: Obtained from the Lophostemon confertus tree, native to coastal regions of Eastern Australia.
• Color and Grain: The wood has a fine texture with an appealing pinkish-brown hue, often with subtle shades of light pink or yellow. The grain is usually interlocked, offering a characteristic wavy pattern.
• Hardness and Durability: Known for its high density and strength, Brush Box is resistant to wear and tear, making it ideal for items that require longevity and resilience.
• Workability: While its density can make it challenging to work with, Brush Box can be effectively machined, turned, and finished with the right tools. Its natural oils can sometimes interfere with gluing and finishing, so appropriate preparation is recommended.
• Finishing: Takes finishes well and polishes to a smooth, high-quality luster.
