Silky Oak


Continent

Azië
Origin
Australia
Range
Grows in the more subtropical mountainous coastal forests of Northern Queensland, Australia, Further Silky Oak genera are the Grevillea robusta (Southern Silky Oak) and Ortis excelsia (from Eastern Australia)

Properties

Silky Oak features distinct broad rays. The wood is beautifully patterned and grained and has a silky gloss surface. It is one of the most beautiful and versatile woods native in Australia.

Machining

Silky Oak can be worked with all the usual tools which are only subject to slight dulling. Due to the special cut to produce the silvery sheen there is a tendency towards flaking.

Seasoning
To avoid deformation, drying should be carried out slowly and carefully. However, there is no particular tendency to check and warp.

Finishing

The light silvery sheen is highlighted best by polishing or by using high gloss surface finishes. Filler should be used when these treatments are applied.

Jointing

Glue joints are very frim and easy to produce. Screw and nail joints have high tensile strength.
