628 - Goldfields Blackbutt

Goldfields Blackbutt – Golden-Toned Australian Native

Goldfields Blackbutt is a warm, light-toned Australian hardwood, prized for its honey-gold colouring and reliable workability. Sourced from the goldfields regions, it is a durable eucalypt species that balances subtle beauty with ease of turning.

Most blanks display a clean, straight grain that polishes to a soft natural glow, while some reveal gentle ripple or curl that catches the light. This variation offers makers both the understated refinement of straight grain and the quiet drama of figured timber. Goldfields Blackbutt turns smoothly, sands easily, and is a versatile choice for pens with a lighter, elegant aesthetic.
