Additionally, Spotted Gum has a higher resistance to moisture, rot, and termites – meaning it will better withstand the elements over time. The timber’s distinctive grain patterns and Colour variation also give it added appeal.

That being said, there are certain situations where merbau may be the better option. For example, if you are looking for a timber with a reddish hue, then merbau would be a better choice – as Spotted Gum has more of a brownish tone.
