Jatoba Hardwood

Fresh 1000-1200 kg/m3. At 12% moisture level 750-850 kg/m3.
Colour
Jatoba wood is reddish brown-dark yellow in colour. The broad alburnum (sapwood) is gray to brown-grey.
Applications

Due to its resistance to wear, Jatoba wood is suitable for parquet, furniture, floors and facade cladding. In shipbuilding, this type of wood is frequently used for both interior and exterior panelling. Van den Berg Hardhout has supplied Jatoba wood for floors in homes, shops and showrooms.
