Blackheart Sassafras Board 1.2mx95mmx15mm

Blackheart Sassafras (scientific name: Atherosperma moschatum) is a highly prized wood in the realm of woodturning, renowned for its exceptional qualities and unique characteristics. Originating from the temperate rainforests of Tasmania, Australia, Blackheart Sassafras is known for its distinctive dark heartwood, which displays striking black streaks and patterns. The contrasting hues between the dark heartwood and the lighter sapwood create visually stunning finished products, making it a favorite among woodturners seeking an aesthetic appeal in their creations.

One of the remarkable features of Blackheart Sassafras is its rarity. The limited distribution of the tree, combined with its slow growth, contributes to the scarcity of this timber. This scarcity enhances its desirability and makes finished products crafted from Blackheart Sassafras even more exclusive.
