Description
White Mahogany is a medium to
large hardwood found along the
coastal plains and adjacent ranges
of the east coast, ranging from
Sydney to cental Queensland,
with isolated occurrences further
north. The bark is rough and quite
fibrous but not overly coarse and
is generally grey-brown in colour.
Appearance The heartwood is pale coloured,
hard, close grained and heavy.
The grain is also typically
interlocked. The sapwood is only
a very narrow band around the
tree, and is slightly paler in
colour. Texture is medium and
even.
Properties White Mahogany is highly durable (Class 1,) allowing for a
wide range of external applications.
Applications include heavy engineering, marine structures,
boat building, framework, panelling, cladding, flooring
(usually in a mixed species floor) and decking. Definition
