Wormy Chestnut Timber Furniture
Origin of Wormy Chestnut timber
Wormy Chestnut is sourced from a collection of different species of Southeastern Australian Eucalyptus including Messmate, Silvertop Ash and Cuttail.
These timbers are newly harvested and certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). This certification ensures that the forests are responsibly managed. Wormy Chestnut is an Australian-grown and milled timber and a sustainable choice.
Appearance of Wormy Chestnut timber furniture
Wormy Chestnut timber furniture shows evidence of the challenges faced within the Australian climate such as drought, strong winds, fire and flood. The characteristic small holes and black features result from attacks by ambrosia beetles and pinhole borers.
Wormy Chestnut timber furniture is hard-wearing with straw blonde or light brown tones but with a small number of sap lines, black markings and pin holes. For more black markings, choose a new or recycled Messmate.
