Timbers used by Robert Latham

Arakaria Finely grained pine, no knots.
Tasmanian Oak An old traditional timber which has made a big comeback
Silver Wattle Little known for furniture use, people are in awe at its beauty. Fantastic for contemporary or modern design.
Blackwood Traditional elegance but can be used in modern and contemporary pieces. Fantastic to mix with Huon Pine.
Myrtle My favourite timber. A very dense timber, beautiful to machine. Fantastic to mix with stainless steel.
Blackheart Sassafras Another dense heavy timber. My favourite to work with. Fantastic variations in colour.
Huon Pine The ultimate.
