Wood from a gumtree or other tree that produces gum, often used for construction and furniture.
From 'gum' (the resin) + 'wood'. The term refers to timber harvested from gumtrees, prized by builders in Australia for its strength and durability.
Gumwood is so dense and hard that it was traditionally used for shipbuilding, tool handles, and railroad sleepers because it resists rot and splitting better than most woods!
