WOOD FLOORINGS - Jarrah

Jarrah Eucalyptus marginata Availability: Moderately available. Sample is 3/4 by 3-inch square-edge solid strip. Top portion is finished with water-base urethane; bottom with oil-modified polyurethane.

COLOR: Heartwood is uniformly pinkish to dark red, often a rich, dark red mahogany hue, turning a deep brownish red with age and exposure; sapwood is pale. Frequent black streaks with occasional ingrown grain.

GRAIN: Frequently interlocked or wavy. Texture is even and moderately coarse.

VARIATIONS WITHIN SPECIES AND GRADES: Moderate to high color variation.

SAWING/MACHINING: Difficult to work because of high density and irregular grain; carbide tooling recommended.
SANDING: Sands well, but dust can stain fabric and wall treatments.
NAILING: Good holding ability.
FINISHING: Red color can bleed into some finishes -- a problem when mixing species.
