Tasmanian Oak

Tasmanian Oak (or Australian Oak)[1] refers to the hardwood produced by three trees: Eucalyptus regnans, Eucalyptus obliqua or Eucalyptus delegatensis, when it is sourced from the Australian state of Tasmania.[2]

The hardwood timber is light-coloured, ranging from straw to light reddish brown.[1] It is used in construction, including panelling and flooring, for furniture, and also for reconstituted board and high quality paper.[1]

When sourced from Victoria, the wood of Eucalyptus regnans and Eucalyptus delegatensis is called Victorian Ash.
