Australian hardwood is not visually uniform, and that individuality is central to Provenance. River Red Gum and Jarrah can both carry strong colour and figure, but each species expresses its character differently—and every individual board of timber varies again.

River Red Gum

River Red Gum is associated with warm red-brown tones and expressive grain. Within a single piece the colour can shift, figure can move dramatically and natural markings can create a strong sense of identity. It is the defining timber of the Riverbank Collection.

Jarrah

Jarrah commonly presents with rich red to deeper brown-red colour and a dense visual presence. In a mixed-hardwood composition it can provide depth and contrast alongside lighter or differently figured Australian timbers.

Why photographs cannot promise identical grain

A collection image communicates the intended form, scale, finish and material language of a work. It cannot promise an identical grain pattern. That would contradict the nature of timber itself. Exact colour, figure, markings and minor dimensions remain individual to the completed piece.

Choosing by character

Choose a single-timber River Red Gum work when you are drawn to continuity of species and flowing natural figure. Choose a mixed-hardwood composition when contrast, rhythm and the relationship between several timbers is part of the appeal.
