Jatoba

Source

Jatoba is available in the forests of Precious Woods, located in the Amazon region of Brazil. The large trees attain heights up to 40m and diameters up to 1 m. The trunk has a fairly straight shape, which makes it possible to produce larger dimensions.

 

Appearance

The heartwood has a pink red to orange red color, darkening to (dark) red brown. Often with a pattern of small black stripes. The grey brown sapwood is easy to distinguish. The heartwood has a nice lustre. The grain is straight, sometimes interlocked. The texture is fine to medium fine.

 

Processing properties

Despite the high density, machining goes fairly easy, resulting in a smooth surface. The gluing and finishing properties (including oil/stain) are rather good, even though the surface is very closed. Pre-drilling is recommended. Drying goes well, with few problems.

 

Application

Jatoba is used for a wide range of applications:

Interior: e.g. flooring, parquet, stairs, furniture and window frames

Exterior: e.g. cladding, doors, window frames, constructions and garden furniture
