ironbark
Dense Australian timber
Ironbark refers to several species of Australian eucalyptus trees known for their exceptionally hard, deeply furrowed bark that doesn't shed.
The wood is dense and durable, prized for construction, railway sleepers, and fence posts: The old bridge was built with ironbark timbers.
The name describes exactly what it suggests—bark so tough it seems made of iron.
