Gympie Messmate

Gympie Messmate (Eucalyptus cloeziana) is a robust Australian hardwood known for its exceptional strength and durability. It features a warm golden-brown to reddish-brown color, often with an interlocked grain that adds character to its appearance. The timber is highly resistant to termites, decay, and harsh weather conditions, making it a preferred choice for both indoor and outdoor applications. Due to its density, Gympie Messmate can be challenging to work with but rewards skilled craftsmen with a beautifully finished product. It is widely used in structural applications, flooring, decking, and high-quality joinery.

Key Features:

  • Warm golden-brown to reddish-brown coloration

  • Dense, strong, and highly durable
