Britton Timbers – Spotted Gum
Heartwood ranges from pale to dark brown or chocolate. Sapwood is distinctly paler, sometimes with an intermediate zone. Texture is moderately coarse. Grain is variable, and frequent wavy grain produces an attractive fiddleback figure. The timber often has a slightly greasy feel. Gum veins are common. Northern material is usually slightly denser, stronger and more durable than southern. Also known as Lemon Scented Gum.
