OPS Forestry is currently working with forest owners and harvesters in all parts of Australia producing Spotted Gum, Blackbutt, Ironbark, Flooded Gum, Sydney Blue Gum, Tallowwood, Marri, Jarrah, Cypress, and Lancewood logs ready for export. These species are highly sought after for their versatility and unique characteristics, making them ideal for decking, flooring, and furniture manufacturers.
These species are also often used in many heavy duty industrial and construction environments.
OPS Forestry can supply and ship these Australian native hardwood logs to any port in the world.
Small to medium-sized tree yielding a dense, moderately fine-grained hardwood. Heartwood dark reddish-brown. Sapwood thin yellow and quite distinctive.
Fine furniture, can be substituted for Lancewood, Gidgee, Blackwood.

A durable hardwood, New England Blackbutt is used for general construction applications, flooring and joinery.
Also known as New England Ash, it is similar in appearance yet not quite as durable as Coastal Blackbutt.
The heartwood is pale brown, while the sapwood is much paler in appearance. New England Blackbutt has an even texture and generally straight grain. Gum veins are usually present.

The species referred to as spotted gum vary in appearance but not in durability class or other properties. The heartwood ranges from light brown through to dark red-brown hues.
Spotted gum is used in engineering applications such as wharf and bridge construction, railway sleepers, cross-arms and mining timbers. Creates magnificent flooring, lining, decking, and cladding. Spotted gum is also used in the manufacture of veneer and plywood.

Tallowwood is an extremely hard, durable and versatile Australian native hardwood species. Tallowwood exhibits exceptional durability in both in-ground and aboveground applications, where life expectancy is greater than 25 and 40 years, respectively. Tallowwood is highly resistant to decay and will withstand damp and wet conditions quite well.
Current engineering applications include wharf and bridge construction (as sawn and round timber), railway sleepers, cross-arms, poles, piles and mining timbers. Decorative uses include outdoor furniture, turnery and joinery.
