Turpentine: Its Red Luster Makes Beautiful Parquet Style Flooring

turpentine parquetry style timber floorTurpentine is a very big tree which greatly dots the east coast of Australia beginning in Sydney to as far as North Cairns, Queensland. In the tropics, it best thrives on elevated places. Turpentine has a bark that is fibrous, tough and deeply grooved. The tree is known by its common name ‘Red Luster’ because it has a band of oleo-resin, which gives it a distinct sheen as well as brown to reddish brown color. Moreover, this resin is believed to repel insects. Its bark is usually allocated for marine pile use.

Turpentine or  Syncarpia glomulifera is a large tree of about 40 to 45 meters high and 1.0 to 1.3 meters in diameter. Its trunk is fairly straight with a slight tapering. Its leaves create a canopy of compact and shady crown. Its heartwood is a pale red-brown shade, while its sapwood remarkably lighter. Its texture is substantially fine with even grains that characteristically inter-lock, which accounts for the considerable movement when the product is duly seasoned. Care must be practiced because the wood has a tendency to collapse as well as distort.
 
The sapwood of Turpentine is lyctid borer infestation and easily accepts preservative treatment. Its timber is said to be termite-resistant. Its wood is very hard when it comes to the ease in working with it using hand tools. Because of the presence of silica in its wood, it can rather be abrasive to machine cutters and tools. When it comes to standard fittings and fastenings, the timber product is readily manageable. Typical of high-density species, machining and surface prepping must be performed just before any gluing. The wood easily accepts paint, stain and polish, which make it ideal for domestic and commercial uses.
 
Turpentine is high on the durability scale, which makes it very versatile when it comes to its applications. It is used for heavy engineering, marine pile and structures, boat building, poles, sleepers, framing, panelling, cladding, flooring and decking. Sawn timber of turpentine is readily available in the market.  It is the primary Australian species for marine piling since its silica make it repel Teredinidae marine borers. Not only in construction is it highly useful, but also for decorative purposes like plywood, laminated beams, bench tops, joinery and timber parquetry floors.
