About Spotted Gum

Spotted Gum (Corymbia citriodora) is a medium-hardness wood balancing workability and wear resistance, with a Janka hardness of 902 lbf (4012 N) and a density of about 0.85 g/cm³. It originates from australia.

With radial shrinkage of 4% and tangential shrinkage of 6% (a T/R ratio of 1.5), it is very stable in service, with low risk of cupping or distortion. Its fiber saturation point is around 25%, below which the wood begins to shrink and move as it dries.
