Jarrah is a species of eucalyptus that has become quite popular for oudoor furniture, flooring and other applications where strength, hardness and a rich deep color are desired. It also has had a long history for construction elements such as docks and railroad ties. Jarra's color ranges from light red to dark red when cut and turns a rich reddish brown on exposure. Coarse-textured, with heavily interlocked grain, jarrah is difficult to work with hand and power tools and dulls tooling fairly quickly.Availability is declining as the Western Australia limits old-growth harvesting.
