King Billy Pine (King William Pine) is Athrotaxis selaginoides.
King Billy Pine is an extremely beautiful coloured wood and is often compared to Western Red Cedar. It is light in weight yet stiff which makes for a great responsive soundboard. It produces a warm tone and is one of the most sought after Australian tone woods. It is native to Tasmania and is a threatened species. I only use timber that has been harvested from naturally fallen timber.
