| Small Blackheart - Cape Barren Platter |
| |
| Cape Barren Platters are handcrafted from Sassafras. Inspired by the Cape barren goose of the Furneaux Island, this platter has a conveniently shaped handle for comfortable serving. Sassafras grows in Tasmania's wet eucalypt forest and young rain forest where it may live up to 150 - 200 years. It can grow to a height of 145 feet in a diameter.
It is an aromatic evergreen tree; the bark, sap and oils smell like cinnamon and its leaves have a strong sarsaparilla scent. If the Tree is infected with staining fungus it produces blackheart sassafras. Blackheart is a timber with distinctive dark brown, black and even green streaks running through the wood. Blackheart is highly prized for decorative features, as no two pieces are ever the same.
