​About

Hawai'ian Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus Robusta): Originally from coastal areas of eastern Australia, this species was introduced to the Big Island of Hawai'i for reforestation when cane and cattle farms began to shrink. It grows in plantation stands on the Hamakua coast on the eastern side of the Big Island. These stands are managed by the Kamehameha school district of Hawai'i, which has released permits to harvest as lumber. Proceeds from this release go back into the school district's programs for the benefit of Hawai'ians.

Hawai'ian Eucalyptus wood: The heartwood of this lumber is red and durable. The sapwood is considerably paler. This lumber has grain that is somewhat coarse and sometimes interlocked. 

Uses:  In Hawai'i it is used as decking and flooring. As a flooring wood it has appealing warm reddish through to golden colors, as can be seen in the photo at the head of this page. Traditionally, round pole lumber of Eucalyptus Robusta was used for fencing in Australia. Due to the durability and marine borer resistance of the  heartwood of this lumber, it has also been used as wharf timbers.

Hardness: Janka rating - 1,250.

​​!!! IMPORTANT !!! Take into account the following:
  • "Rough Lumber" = not planed, not dressed. Take that into account in your take-offs, job size calculation (e.g. decking yield from the lumber), and required  bd ft lumber quantity calculations.
  • Our rough lumber is sold in random lengths and random widths, unless otherwise indicated. 
  • We do not hand select for lengths or widths where the available lumber specs are RW and RL. No exceptions!
  • Availability and pricing change throughout the year without notice. Price quotes for a specific wood product hold for for 14 days only from date quoted.
  • If your project is likely to take months to develop, be aware that the lumber you need for it may not be available by the time you are ready.
