Jarrah (Eucalyptus Marginata) This stunning wood originates from Western Australia. The heartwood of regular figured boards often resembles American Claro Walnut, but the burl pieces I have seen are another matter altogether. The burl color is highly variegated with reds, browns and burgundy, and the finished pieces often resemble marble in texture and appearance. This wood is dense and brittle, and numerous surface cracks are common in the finished product and lend to the character.
