But with Myrtle boasting an exciting range of appearances, how do you choose the perfect type for your project?

Distinctive Timbers: Your Guide to Tasmanian Myrtle Varieties

Here, we delve into the world of Tasmanian Myrtle, exploring the distinctive features of each variety:

• Myrtle Burl: Often considered the crown jewel of Myrtle, burl features a mesmerizing, swirling grain pattern. These burls are formed by the tree's natural reaction to stress or injury, resulting in a truly one-of-a-kind aesthetic. Imagine a coffee table with a mesmerizing, almost liquid-like grain that becomes the focal point of your living room.
• Tiger Myrtle: As the name suggests, Tiger Myrtle boasts a captivating striped appearance. Rich black streaks interweave with red, pink or cream tones, creating a visually striking pattern. This variety is perfect for a statement coffee table that commands attention, or a sleek media console that adds a touch of drama to your entertainment space.
• Flame Myrtle: This captivating variety features long, flowing streaks of red and blue that resemble flames dancing across the wood's surface. Flame Myrtle offers a sense of movement and vibrancy, ideal for a custom headboard that injects personality into your bedroom, or a set of side tables that add a touch of artistry to your living room.
• Quilted Myrtle: For a more subtle yet sophisticated look, Quilted Myrtle offers a mesmerizingly textured surface. The wood appears to have a rippled or quilted effect, creating a unique and captivating appearance. This variety would be stunning as a set of custom display shelves, or a minimalist coffee table that exudes understated elegance.

Beyond its captivating visuals, Tasmanian Myrtle offers a range of practical benefits:

• Exceptional Durability: Myrtle is a naturally hard-wearing timber, ensuring your custom furniture will endure for generations.
• Natural Beauty: The essential oils within Myrtle imbue it with a natural resistance to insects and moisture, minimizing the need for harsh chemicals.
• Diverse Color Palette: From deep reds to vibrant yellows, Myrtle offers a vast color spectrum, allowing you to find the perfect match for your design vision.
