For a premium Australian Hardwood, look no further than the stunning Spotted Gum. Also known as Lemon Scented Gum, it is as striking in appearance as it is durable in strength – making it an excellent choice for a variety of structural, interior and exterior projects.
Spotted Gum has a beautiful range of colours, from light coffees to rich chocolate browns and featuring pink and grey undertones.
Known for its natural beauty, it can be oiled or stained to bring its natural colours to the forefront, or left to weather for a more organic appearance.
