    What Stirlo said.

    Along with figured Tas. Blackwood, Blackheart Sassafras and Leatherwood.

    (I just can't point to one wood and say "that's it!" )
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.

    Mountain ti tree, King billy, celery top, myrtle, huon, horizontal, regnans - not in that order necessarily, and certainly not limited to them.

    all of them, especially the more obscure ones..but Huon pine is just a beautiful timber to work and myrtle has great properties and texture..

    if your talking flooring, Tasmanian Oak is by far the best, Tas Blackwood is also a nice timber
