Quick facts
|
The species: Jarrah (Eucalyptus marginata) grows in only a small area of south western Australia, so it is a highly prized wood resource unique to Australia. Due to its scarcity and limited supply from Australia, Australian Jarrah is now a RARE WOOD.

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 equally appealing alternative. Jarrah: The milling process to produce flooring reveals the gorgeous colors of the reddish heartwood and the slightly paler sapwood. For homeowners, this hardwood provides additional desirable benefits of termite resistance, water resistance, and being a really hard, long wearing wood. 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. The time is near when Jarrah flooring and lumber are no longer available at all. Due to the cessation of logging of Jarrah as required by the Australian government, sources are now only through former mills that had stockpiled some relatively small supplies Jarrah. |
