Australian Oak is Australian Sustainable Hardwoods (ASH) brand of Tasmanian Oak timber. With a desire to use the whole tree coupled with growing demand for timber products that celebrate the inherent visual characteristics of wood, Classic Grade Australian Oak is an attractive and affordable option.
In response to dwindling resource availability, coupled with a push for longer-lived applications from small diameter and character filled logs, ASH have been building a market for fibre that would have otherwise been sent offshore, turned to pallets, or chipped for paper. Much of this resource is used within ASH’s MASSLAM structural solutions. However, some present the perfect opportunity for Classic Grade.
We are now producing beautiful hardwood products that allow the natural features of the timber to shine. Think gum veins, gum pockets and knots. Faults to some, stunning uniqueness to others. (An extra allowance for waste is recommended when purchasing for occasional splits and full-thickness characteristics).
And because these products don’t meet “select” or “standard” grading requirements, it makes it a more affordable options for builders, designers and consumers alike.
The best part, we have reliable and ongoing supply ready to fulfill your requirements immediately.
Products available in our Classic Grade include:
Aus Oak interior applications:
IronAsh (H3 treated Aus Oak) exterior applications:
