I just picked up a load of oak, hickory, maple, and poplar at my local lumber yard. I asked if they had anything else that I should get and was told they had some "coffee bean". Never heard of it but I bought some. Seems to be hard like hickory, very clear with grain that resembles sassafras without the color. Is anyone familiar with this wood? Can you tell me anything about it. It was harvested locally in Southern Indiana.
