Grain

The timber displays a moderately coarse and even textured grain. The occasional incidence of wavy and interlocking grain produces some samples with a sought after fiddleback figure.

Workability

Despite its density, Jarrah is relatively easy to work with if tools are maintained in sharp condition. Jarrah timber can be machined and turned easily. It can be glued and satisfactorily steam bent, but care must be taken when using nails, due to the density dimensional stability.
