Mandioqueira Hardwood

Mandioqueira hardwood, sometimes called Sucupira Amarela, stands out for its beautiful pinkish brown to reddish brown colour. Its trendy appearance and advantageous properties make Mandioqueira a versatile type of wood. This can also be seen by the many different projects with Mandioqueira wood for which we have supplied the wood. You can see a selection of these projects in the photo album on this page.

Colour

Pinkish brown to reddish brown. Without treatment, Sucupira Amarela in the open air becomes gray to a silver gray quite quickly.

Workability

Mandioqueira wood is moderately easy to saw, good to moderately good to edit, like planing, sanding and turning. Indentations can occur in wood with cross-threads. Some species give a woolly surface and some types contain some pebbles which can dull cutting tools quickly.

Good, but pre-drilling is recommended.

Finishing of surface

Sucupira Amarela can probably be well used for indoor applications.
