Plantation Oak Timber

Australian Sustainable Hardwoods (ASH)

Plantation Oak is ASH’s unique brand of highly attractive plantation grown hardwood. Showcasing the best in Australian hardwood innovation, Plantation Oak is the responsible upgrade of plantation grown Shining Gum (Eucalyptus Nitens), otherwise largely destined for export and wood chip applications.

The secret is in ASH’s processing, skill and manufacturing prowess. Successful and responsible stewardship of a resource requires a balance between production, engineering and distribution. Ensuring the very best is obtained from every log and the whole tree is utilised to provide the greatest longevity in it’s end application.

Plantation Oak is engineered to create an architectural timber with higher strength and improved appearance when compared to its unrefined counterparts. Like all species processed through our world class facility in Heyfield, Victoria, Plantation Oak is straight line edged after drying, providing superior straightness. The result is a unique plantation hardwood with beautiful features and a consistent blonde to light brown colour – perfect for manufacturers and specifiers alike.

Offering a close alternative to Tasmanian Oak and Victorian ash, Plantation Oak is currently manufactured for mass timber solutions, glue laminated structural elements and selected joinery applications.

Plantation Oak excels in decarbonising the built environment, surpassing carbon neutrality even after factoring in embodied carbon.
