Distinctive Timbers: Your Guide to Tasmanian Myrtle Varieties
Here, we delve into the world of Tasmanian Myrtle, exploring the distinctive features of each variety:
- Myrtle Burl: Often considered the crown jewel of Myrtle, burl features a mesmerizing, swirling grain pattern. These burls are formed by the tree's natural reaction to stress or injury, resulting in a truly one-of-a-kind aesthetic. Imagine a coffee table with a mesmerizing, almost liquid-like grain that becomes the focal point of your living room.
- Tiger Myrtle: As the name suggests, Tiger Myrtle boasts a captivating striped appearance. Rich black streaks interweave with red, pink or cream tones, creating a visually striking pattern. This variety is perfect for a statement coffee table that commands attention, or a sleek media console that adds a touch of drama to your entertainment space.
- Flame Myrtle: This captivating variety features long, flowing streaks of red and blue that resemble flames dancing across the wood's surface. Flame Myrtle offers a sense of movement and vibrancy, ideal for a custom headboard that injects personality into your bedroom, or a set of side tables that add a touch of artistry to your living room.
- Quilted Myrtle: For a more subtle yet sophisticated look, Quilted Myrtle offers a mesmerizingly textured surface. The wood appears to have a rippled or quilted effect, creating a unique and captivating appearance. This variety would be stunning as a set of custom display shelves, or a minimalist coffee table that exudes understated elegance.

Beyond its captivating visuals, Tasmanian Myrtle offers a range of practical benefits:
