Australian cypress is a conifer native to the eastern states
of Australia. The distribution of Australian cypress is
mostly in inland New South Wales and Southern Queensland
(see map). Australian cypress is logged on a sustainable
basis as part of the Australian Government's Australian
Farm Forestry Program.

cypress wood: Australian cypress is predominantly
golden. However, variations in Australian cypress color
range from cream colored sapwood and yellow-gold to brown
heartwood. Australian cypress has closed and tight grain
with large and small knots.
Australian

cypress, its durability, density, nail holding ability,
and termite resistance have made Australian cypress an attractive
product in international markets, especially for
flooring, feature finishes, and cabinetry.
Australian
cypress sourcing issues: We source our Australian
Cypress Pine from sustainably managed
forestry farms.
