Huon Pine
Huon Indistries namewas inspired by the Huon Pine.
Huon Pine is the most sought after cabinet timber in Australasia and it is available at Huon Industries on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia.
The Huon pine only grows in South-West Tasmania. It is a slow growing timber (up to 600 years) with a very tight grain and natural oil. It is highly resistant to worm and insect attack hence its use in timber boat building.
Tasmania’s endemic Huon Pine (Lagarostrobos franklinii, Family Podocarpaceae) is famous around the world as an extremely durable boat-building timber and as a beautiful, golden-coloured, easily workable furniture timber. Its durability is due to the presence of a unique oil, methyl euganol, which permeates the wood, making it virtually impervious to rot and giving the timber a distinctive sweet smell. The trees grow within forests along the rivers and streams of Western Tasmania and along the Huon River in the south, where it was first discovered and named.
It was discovered soon after the settlement of Hobart in 1803, in the form of logs which had been washed up along the shores of the Huon River and D’Entrecastreaux Channel. These were free from rot, despite having lain there for decades or hundreds of years.
