Jarrah Prestige: Due to the combination of beauty and strength Jarrah is prized as a prestige, rare, high-end flooring.
We currently hold select grade Jarrah flooring. Why is this wood so prestigious? Jarrah is now extremely scarce in the U.S. due to logging policy changes in Australia. (Homeowners are turning to Red Iron Bark, a more readily available and appealing alternative.) Jarrah: The milling process to produce flooring reveals the gorgeous colors of the reddish heartwood and the slightly paler sapwood, with occasional filaments of dark gum vein which are naturally occurring small accents. For homeowners, this hardwood provides additional desirable benefits of
Hardness: Janka rating - 1,910. Working with Jarrah: Slightly interlocked grain and some fiddleback. Even and tight grain. Dense wood. Tools need to be nice and sharp. Sourcing: Ours comes from accredited Australian sources. Note, however, that the time has now come when Jarrah flooring is extremely difficult to source (if at all) due to the Australian Government imposing a stop-logging of Jarrah from January 1, 2024 to preserve native tree species (a fair enough requirement). |
