Sassafras has the most variable and dynamic colouring of all the Tasmanian timbers.
White sassafras is a beautiful pale creamy grey to white timber. Finishing to a grey and golden tone, it is particularly attractive as a veneer or as a solid timber with knots providing figure. If the tree is infected with a staining fungus it produces blackheart sassafras. Blackheart is highly prized for decorative work and bowl turning and no two pieces are ever the same. Sassafras timber is renowned in furniture use as a solid or veneer. It is used for paneling, moldings, joinery veneers, cabinet making and turnery.
