Webinar: The Sustainability, Availability and Affordability of Blackwood, Myrtle and Celery Top Pine

The sustainability, availability and affordability of Blackwood, Myrtle and Celery Top Pine

Blackwood, Myrtle and Celery Top Pine are three of Tasmania’s most distinctive species. Industry expert Michael “Mick” Lee provides a comprehensive overview of the sustainability, availability and affordability of each timber species. He is joined by Nathan Kotlareski, Processing and Projects Manager at Hydrowood, and Luke Magee, Tasmanian Sales Manager at Britton Timbers, who shared their firsthand knowledge and experience working with these timber species. With insights delivered directly from suppliers, attendees gain a practical and up-to-date understanding of how each timber performs across its various applications.

Blackwood, known for its rich colour and beauty, remains one of Tasmania’s most sought-after hardwoods, valued across both decorative and structural applications. Myrtle, with its distinctive pinkish-red tones, offers brilliant workability across a variety of applications, making it perfect for veneer and finishing timber. Celery Top Pine is a creamy-blonde timber that reveals golden tones in sunlight. It offers exceptional durability and workability, making it an attractive choice for flooring and external use, while knots and figure offer a unique character in furniture.

Together, the panel highlights not only the individual qualities of each species, but also the broader value of sourcing Tasmanian timber – a product supported by sustainable forest practices and a network of knowledgeable suppliers.

Whether you are an architect, builder, designer, or furniture maker, this session offers valuable information from one of the industry’s most experienced voices, on what makes these Tasmanian species so special.
