FSC louro amarelo is available in limited quantities in the forests of Precious Woods, located in the Amazon region of Brazil. The trees have a straight cylindric shape, which makes it possible to produce larger dimensions in sawn wood.
Appearance:
The heartwood has a colour that varies from yellow brown to beige brown. The sapwood is easy to distinguish. The wood has a nice lustre and pattern. Sometimes louro amarelo has ingrown bark. The grain is mainly straight and the texture is medium coarse. Typical is the pleasant smell.
Working properties:
Despite the high density machining goes well, with a smooth result. Pre-drilling is recommended. With finishing and gluing are less experiences. Drying goes slowly with less problems. Thicker dimensions are difficult to kiln dry.
