Roasted Blackbutt

Roasted Blackbutt is a high temperature thermally modified hardwood that uses a custom designed heating program to alter the wood’s molecular structure. This has many benefits that include locking in the colour, increasing the durability and limiting movement to a fraction of normal kiln dried Blackbutt.
