Highly variable timber, Australian Wormy Chestnut has a unique appearance – the result of the hardiness of Australian trees enduring wildfires, seasons of drought, flooding and insects. These features produce a similar appearance to recycled messmate. Known as Australian Chestnut when handpicked to be free of features.
