Bring the warm colour and fine texture of Tasmanian Myrtle to your next knife handle. This hardwood is known for tones ranging from pale pink to rich red-brown, with a close grain that takes on a deep lustre when polished.
The solid block format suits shaping a hidden-tang handle, small tool handle or craft component. Check the dimensions against your blade and handle design before starting.
Timber character & working properties
Tasmanian Myrtle is valued for its workability: it shapes, turns and sands well, making it a rewarding timber for detailed projects. Its grain is often straight, although natural variation may include wavy patterns. Sand through the grits and apply a suitable timber-handle finish to bring out the colour and grain.
