Below are images of some of the native timbers
that are normally available for recorder stands. Note that the
colour and grain pattern of natural timbers can vary considerably
and these images should be taken as a guide only.
Some local timbers can exhibit "spalting". This
is caused by a fungus that leaves dark streaks in the wood. While
this can be a weakness in the timber for some applications, it can
be rather attractive in decorative pieces.
