Scientific name Eucalyptus marginata, Jarrah wood is a Eucalyptus tree that is endemic to South Western Australia. It is from the myrtle family, Myrtlaceae. Trees produce a reddish purple blended color in a fine and dense hardwood. The wood is ideally suited for cabinets, flooring, tables, boxes, and other fine articles. It takes a fine, smooth natural polish. All of the wood in this special has been kiln dried and surfaced on two sides. It is very clean material with only a couple of boards with a minor rough edge.
