Flindersia spp.

The Silver Ashes are rainforest hardwoods growing from the Mid North Coast to Far North Queensland. The tree grows up to 35m in height and 1m in diameter. The timber colour varies from almost white to pale yellow to greyish silver and has little or no figuring in the grain. It is a stable timber, reasonably durable, easily worked and steam bends well. It has a natural lustre, finishes well and is a popular timber for furniture making as well as for sporting goods and boat building.
