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 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.
