Lacewood

Lacewood (Cardwellia spp.) grows in northern Australia. Its wood is pinkish or reddish brown, darkening to brown with age. It sometimes has a golden luster, but its most distinctive feature is the large medullary rays, which create a prominent silky figure. The grain is straight except where it curves around the rays. The texture is coarse and even, and the dry density is approximately 580 kg/m³.
