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.

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.
