Beefwood – Dense Australian Hardwood with Striking Medullary Rays & High-End Visual Appeal
Beefwood (Grevillea striata and related Grevillea species) is a unique Australian hardwood prized for its rich reddish-brown color, shimmering medullary ray fleck, and impressive density. Known for its “meaty” appearance—hence the name—Beefwood displays dramatic, ribbon-like figure that gives finished pieces a bold, luxurious look.
Why Woodworkers Value Beefwood
Deep, Rich Red Color – Natural tones resemble mahogany and rosewood, often with darker streaks.
Distinctive Figure – Prominent medullary rays create shimmering, lace-like patterns when quartersawn.
Very Dense & Durable – Ideal for detailed work that requires hardness and long-term stability.
Excellent Polished Finish – Sands and buffs to a glossy, high-end sheen.
Visually Striking – Perfect for decorative, artistic, and specialty projects.
Popular Uses for Beefwood
Pen blanks and high-end turning projects
Knife scales and tool handles
Musical instrument parts
Fine boxes, jewelry, and small decorative pieces
Inlay, accents, and luxury details
Art carvings and sculptural work
Why Beefwood Stands Out
Beefwood delivers a combination of density, color, and dramatic figure that is difficult to match with other exotic hardwoods. Its bold medullary rays make each piece truly one-of-a-kind, while its strength ensures durability and crisp details. Woodworkers choose Beefwood when they want their projects to stand out with a rich, eye-catching aesthetic and exceptional tactile quality.
Whether you're turning, carving, or crafting collector-quality pieces, Beefwood offers premium beauty, reliability, and artistic flair.
