Blackbutt Benchtops – Premium Australian Hardwood Benchtops
620mm wide | 32mm thick
Elevate your interiors with the natural beauty and strength of our kiln-dried Blackbutt timber benchtops. Sourced from premium Australian hardwood, Blackbutt is highly regarded for its durability, stability, and warm natural tones ranging from creamy golds through to soft and deeper browns.
As a genuine Australian hardwood, Blackbutt naturally displays organic features formed during the tree’s growth. These characteristics—including knots, gum veins, pinholes, and occasional surface checking—are part of the timber’s authentic appearance and contribute to its individual character.
Each benchtop is manufactured using single, continuous-length timbers (not finger-jointed shorts), delivering a strong, seamless laminated panel. Benchtops are precision-machined and sanded to a 120-grit finish, ready for sealing or final finishing.
Ideal for kitchens, islands, vanities, laundry benchtops, furniture, and custom joinery, Blackbutt offers a balance of performance, longevity, and natural visual appeal suited to both modern and traditional interiors.

Natural Timber Characteristics
Blackbutt is a natural product and may contain features including:
-
Gum veins and gum pockets
-
Tight and occasional open knots
-
Pinholes or bora holes

Face checking or surface splits
