For many architects, designers and makers, Tasmanian Myrtle sits in a slightly misunderstood place. It is one of Tasmania’s most admired native timbers, known for its rich pink, red and brown tones, fine grain and refined finish. Yet many people still assume it is difficult to source, unavailable at commercial scale or limited to small craft pieces and one-off furniture projects. Hydrowood has helped change the conversation around Myrtle availability by recovering timber from forests submerged decades ago beneath Tasmania’s hydro lakes.
