Tasmanian sassafras has the most variable and dynamic colouring. White sassafras is a beautiful pale creamy grey to white timber. Finishing to a grey and golden tone.

Blackheart Sassafras is made by a fungus. Blackheart Sassafras is dark brown, black, and even green streaked.

Sassafras grows as an understorey species in lower altitude wet forests throughout Tasmania. It is not related to the timbers known as sassafras that grow on mainland Australia.

The best trees are found in gullies where Sassafras may reach 45m in height and almost a metre in diameter. It may live for up to 150 - 200 years.

TASMANIAN SASSAFRAS, Atherosperma Moschatum, is used as guitar inlay material on Ellis custom acoustic guitars, and as Stompbox tonewood on the Ellis custom acoustic stompbox
