Britton Timbers – Australian Wormy Chestnut

Trees are shaped by wildfires, years of drought and insect attack. Flood, strong wind and harsh conditions leave deep gum veins, ambrosia marks, pin holes and characteristic worm trails, so every board carries nature’s signature. Also known as Southern Blackbutt and Chestnut.
