Distinguished from Hickory Wattle\/Lightwood (A. implexa<\/em>) by its \u2018leaves\u2019 which are not sickle- shaped, its flowering time and habitat (although they occasionally occur together). Also, the Blackwood funicle (ovule or seed stalk) is red and completely encircles the seed while the Lightwood funicle is cream and folded under the seed.<\/p>\n

Highly regarded as cabinet and furniture timber. Used widely for veneers. One of the most decorative Australian timbers when polished. Timber golden-brown to dark-brown, sometimes with reddish tints or streaks with distinct growth rings, tough, hard and close-grained. Grain usually straight, but also wavy. Density about 650 kg\/m3. Selected provenances have potential for commercial production of specialty high-value timber, on fertile high rainfall sites.<\/p>\n
