Jarrah is a timber found in Western Australia and I have been carrying a block of this table with me since I graduated from the Australian School Of Fine Furniture a few years ago.
I also have, as a miniature furniture maker, a good quantity of Huon Pine which is now very restricted in Tasmania where it is still growing. Some Huon Pine is found to be 4000 years old and some much older, it was used in boat building as it contains oils that stop it rotting, some trees have been pulled from rivers and is still good for furniture and boat building.
There is still beautiful timber all over the world, a lot are in Australia.
