Our wood species guide

Discover the unique Australian timbers available at Primo Hardwoods in Albury, NSW. All of our specialty timber is locally sourced, carefully selected, and milled to provide woodturners, knife makers, and craft enthusiasts with exceptional grain and stability. Whether you are after pen blanks or custom-sized timbers, explore our featured species below or email us directly at info@primo-hardwoods.online for custom requests.

River redgum

Redgum is our signature timber and top recommendation for pen turning. Known for its rich red hues, striking fiddleback patterns, and remarkable density, locally sourced redgum yields a brilliant polish and lasting durability. Browse our ready-to-turn pen blanks or order custom dimensions suited to your bespoke craftsmanship.

Red box and grey box

Our box eucalypt varieties, including red box and grey box, provide incredible hardness, interlocking grain, and subtle earthy tones ranging from light honey to deep olive browns. These locally harvested native hardwoods are ideal for durable tool handles, precision knife scales, and custom turning projects that demand hard-wearing resilience.

Pine and custom timbers

For lighter projects, casting, and specialty turning, we also stock quality pine alongside our premium native hardwoods. If you require specific timber blanks, rare Australian species, or custom-sized dimensions cut to order, we are ready to assist. Pick up locally from our Albury workshop or contact us at primohardwoods@outlook.com to discuss your project requirements.
