Observations
Sapwood CANNOT be used
In some areas, and erroneously, they call it Teka.
When sawn, it presents different colors that are later equalized
It has characteristics similar to that of Teak wood, hence it is known such as African Teak. However, it is somewhat lighter and less greasy. Currently, it is our best-selling wood and the one we have the most stock of.
