Spotted Gum takes its name from the dappled bark it sheds each year, leaving a smooth, mottled trunk that rises straight and high. It grows from southern New South Wales up the Queensland coast and is one of Australia’s strongest hardwoods.
On the rosary
The beads are firm and dense, with a colour that sits between honey and dark chocolate and a faint ripple that shows as the bead turns. It wears exceptionally well and suits a rosary meant for a pocket rather than a drawer.
Why we chose it
Straight, tall, unbending. Spotted Gum is the timber for the person who wants to stand firm.
