Corrugata Wood Collection – Eucalyptus corrugata Hardwood

Our Corrugata Wood Collection features unique pieces harvested from Eucalyptus corrugata, a distinctive Australian hardwood species in the Myrtaceae (eucalyptus) family. Commonly known as rib‑fruited mallee or rough‑fruited mallee, this species is endemic to Western Australia and prized for its rich grain textures and intriguing burl figures that appeal to woodturners, pen makers, knife makers, and fine woodworking artisans alike. 

Botanically classified as:

Genus: Eucalyptus

Species: corrugata

Family: Myrtaceae

Sometimes marketed simply as Corrugata burl or mallee burl wood in blanks and turning stock. 

Eucalyptus corrugata grows as a small to medium‑sized tree or mallee shrub with deeply ribbed buds and fruit—the origin of its species name “corrugata,” meaning “wrinkled” or “ridged.” 

This exotic hardwood displays warm tone variation from honey to deep amber and rich brown, often with complex burl figure, swirling grain, and dramatic natural contrast that makes every board or blank visually striking. Its dense structure and fine texture polish to a high sheen and respond well to both traditional finishing oils and modern stabilizing techniques.
