1. Tasmanian Oak
Tasmanian oak comes in light colours, ranging from pale yellow to reddish brown. This, in addition to its subtle grain, makes it ideal for staining. It's also easy to work with, allowing for more options when designing wood cabinets. With flexibility in staining and general structure, Tasmanian oak wood cabinets are well-suited to various settings and styles.
2. Blackwood
Blackwood is known for its gorgeous appearance and workability. It has a distinct golden-brown colour which is often accentuated by reddish streaks and narrow bands of dark brown. As for the grain, it can either be straight or wavy. While a straight grain is easier to work with, the wavy variant is highly valued for its appearance. As if that wasn't enough, blackwood is also very easy to work with. Overall, blackwood is an excellent choice for Australian wood cabinets.
3. Jarrah
Jarrah is a jack of all trades. Not only does it have exceptional strength, durability and rot resistance, but it also comes in a range of colours. While jarrah often comes in deep reds or browns, it can also be found in lighter oranges and yellows. Typically, jarrah's grain is even-textured and coarse but can occasionally include wavy patterns. This breaks up the grain's uniformity and creates visual interest. Due to its versatility, jarrah is a reliable choice that can enhance all aspects of Australian wood cabinets.
4. Hoop Pine
Hoop pine is known for its light colour, straight grain, and fine, even texture. This gives it a relatively plain appearance compared to other types of wood. Because it still has a visible texture, hoop pine strikes a good balance between subtlety and visual interest. While hoop pine is easily workable in most cases, it cannot be steam bent. Hoop pine wood cabinets excel at simplicity. However, with painting or staining, they can also be made to stand out.
5. Spotted Gum
Spotted gum is valued for its coarse, uneven texture and visible gum lines. Though it can have a straight grain, it often has a wavy grain with fiddleback patterns. Both the texture and the grain pattern give spotted gum many interesting visual features. It's common for two pieces of spotted gum to be visually distinct from each other. In terms of colour, the heartwood of spotted gum ranges from brown to pale brown to reddish brown, while the sapwood ranges from pale brown to white. If you want wood cabinets with interesting patterns and textures, spotted gum cabinets are the way to go.
