Moa wood

Moaholz , also Australian teak , Edelteak or Native-Teak is a very hard weather-resistant, ocher yellow wood of Flindersia australis from Australia as well as from madhuca longifolia from Asia.

The wood is somewhat imprecisely named after the moa , an extinct ratite that used to live in New Zealand .

The wood is quite oily, but less than the tallow wood of Eucalyptus microcorys .
