Huon Pine - Lagarostrobos
franklinii, (formerly. Dacrydium franklinii) is only
found in Tasmania Australia.
With unique qualities of durability, longevity, amazing grains,
rich golden hues that darken with age and fine texture, Huon Pine
is a truly beautiful softwood timber, deep in character with exquisite
aroma. Huon Pine is extremely slow growing with growth rates averaging
a mere 1mm per year. Trees may attain heights of over 40 metres
and are amongst the longest living organisms on the earth, they
often live in excess of 2000 years and have been known to reach
3,000 years. A tree merely 20 cm in diameter could be as much
as 500 years old.
The ‘Piners’, early timber getters, searched the inhospitable
wilderness of Tasmania's West Coast to cut and haul out Huon Pine
logs. The timber was used for everything where durability and
ease of working was required; in furniture and tables, in washtubs
and ships and in machinery and patterns for casting. Remaining
trees are found in the western and south-western parts of the
state, growing along river banks, lake shores and swampy localities
in mixed formations.
Huon Pine derives its name from the stands which once occurred
along the Huon River. The western and south-western Huon Pine
stands are now protected and what timber is available comes from
logs salvaged from rivers and areas flooded by hydro electric
schemes or logs that are dead fallen. This above personalised
panorama piece from the Gordon River Dam contains evidence of
being salvaged as parts contain an additional rich orange tannin
stain which is drawn into the timber as it lays for years in the
water.
Huon Pine is the prince of Tasmanian timbers, the richness of
its golden colour and features such as ‘birds eye’ and
‘fiddleback’, make it one of the world's most desirable
furniture and veneering timbers. Its durability and workability
make it one of the best boat-building timbers known. The wood
contains a natural preserving oil with an unmistakable perfume
which is also a natural insect repelant, its fine and even grain
makes the wood exceptionally pleasant to work with hand tools.
A true investment in a piece that is already of great age. As
the limited existing sources of flooded and dead fallen Huon Pine
diminish, due to its extreme slow growth and protected status,
Huon Pine can only become more difficult to obtain and thus, even
rarer.
