Coffee tree
« on: February 20, 2009, 06:40:25 pm »
I cut one today.I did a search and found out some imfo, but couldn't find any imfo,or pics of specs/finished bows? Seems I read it was of the locust family,and the heart wood shows that,reminds me of honey locust.I yanked off the bark ,recuced it down,and sealed it.

Anyone ?

Yes, in my experience, Coffee Tree is nearly identical to Honey Locust. Other than a possible slight color variation, most people could not tell apart the two when reduced to bare wood only. The lumber is even sometimes sold as a mix of the two trees.
