Sassafras

Hardness: 4.0 Stability: Very Good

Another well kept secret, but maybe not for long! Sassafras is sometimes called ‘poor mans Chestnut’ and is a particularly stable wood, although not the as hard as some hardwoods. It is ideal for areas close to the shore, lakes and rivers where humidity can be a problem. It has a grain pattern close to that of oak with a very pleasing chestnut brown to wheat brown color. A rich character-filled floor.
