About the Timber
The Kentucky Coffee Tree is so named because early settlers (particularly in the state of Kentucky) used roasted seeds from this tree to make a coffee substitute.
The heartwood is an orange to reddish brown with the sapwood being a yellowish white sapwood and is very narrow and well defined against heartwood. It is very similar in appearance to Ash and Oak. The grain is straight and porous, with a coarse, uneven texture with some parts being hard and light, given the appearance of the finish not haven taken, which is not the case.
The Coffee Tree has good working characteristics and nearly every machining operation can be done with good results and it finishes well. It is mostly used for furniture, cabinet making and fence posts.
