Botanical Name: Eucalyptus paniculata
Preferred Common Name: Ironbark, Grey
Other Names: Ironbark, Grey
Species Type: Hardwood
APPEARANCE
Grey ironbark sapwood is almost white, making it highly distinct from the heartwood, that ranges from light grey or light chocolate with occasional darker reds and browns. The texture is moderately coarse and even, and the grain usually straight, and only occasionally interlocked. Grey Ironbark may have regional variations in colour, with some having black narrow to broad streaks running through the timber
COMMON APPLICATIONS
Due to its class 1 strength and durability ratings, grey ironbark is commonly used in engineering applications as a sawn and round timber. It can be specified for wharf and bridge construction, railway sleepers, cross arms, poles, piles and mining timbers. The unseasoned timber is excellent for general house framing, while seasoned and dressed grey ironbark timber is used for cladding, internal and external flooring, linings and joinery. It is also ideal for fencing, landscaping and retaining walls. The timber's versatility extends to boat building (keel and framing components, planking), including reputed use in the hulls of early ice-breaker ships. Coach, vehicle and carriage building, agricultural machinery, mallet heads, mauls and bearings, sporting goods (croquet mallets, parallel bars) and bowling ninepins have all been made from grey ironbark.
COMMON FORM
Sawn
WORKABILITY
Grey ironbark has been employed for decorative purposes such as in outdoor furniture, turning and joinery, although its density makes it hard to work in applications requiring fine detail. It is slow drying and should be handled carefully to avoid surface checking.

Grey Ironbark is common to coastal regions of NSW and in southern Queensland. E paniculata is the most common commercial species of Ironbark timber. It is not generally available in a range of sizes, but can be supplied to order. Large sizes in particular are commonly ordered for structural uses, so it is more readily available in this form.
