Brushbox timber
Brushbox can be interlocked in grain, so use sharp tools and sand with the grain. It takes clear finishes well and does not need staining. Compare with Blackbutt for a paler floor and ironbark for a harder one.
Brushbox flooring in Melbourne
Brushbox (Lophostemon confertus) has the finest, most even grain of the Australian flooring hardwoods: a pink-brown to grey-brown board with very little gum vein, which sands to a smooth, uniform floor. It is hard, quiet underfoot and resists wear well in halls and kitchens.
