\n

Color\/Appearance:<\/strong><\/a> Heartwood is reddish brown, sometimes with colored streaks; slightly paler sapwood isn’t always clearly demarcated from the heartwood. Freshly sawn surfaces can have a lighter olive hue, with color darkening to a deeper reddish brown with age.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Grain\/Texture:<\/a><\/strong> Grain is usually interlocked, with a uniform, medium-coarse texture. Moderate natural luster.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Rot Resistance:<\/a><\/strong> Rated as durable to very durable, with good\u00a0resistance to insect attack.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Workability:<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0Considered to be difficult to work on account of its density and irregular grain. The wood also has a high cutting resistance with a pronounced\u00a0blunting effect on cutters.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Odor:<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0Has a pungent, unpleasant odor when\u00a0being worked.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Allergies\/Toxicity:<\/strong><\/a> Although severe reactions are quite uncommon, Angelim vermelho\u00a0has been reported to cause unspecified allergic reactions. See the articles Wood Allergies and Toxicity<\/a> and Wood Dust Safety<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Pricing\/Availability:<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0Not commonly offered for sale in North America. The wood is sometimes sold as decking or for other outdoor timber applications. Given the immense size of the tree, prices are likely to be reasonable for an imported hardwood.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Sustainability:<\/strong><\/a> This wood species is not listed in the CITES Appendices or on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Common Uses:<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0Heavy construction (exterior applications), flooring, decking, boatbuilding, docks, and other applications where its strength and rot resistance can be utilized.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Comments:<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0Angelim vermelho is yet another example of a very strong and dense tropical hardwood coming from South America. Like most of these hard\u00a0tropical exotics, it can be a challenge to work, but its durability may be justification to bear with such an uncooperative wood. Additionally, it has quite an offensive\u00a0odor while it is being worked\u00a0— and the scent is present both in the green wood and in dried wood.<\/p>\n

The phrase “vermelho” in its common name is the Portuguese designation meaning “red;” the wood is also\u00a0sold or listed as Angelim pedra (pedra means “stone” in Portuguese), though this common name is more commonly applied to timber coming from the Hymenolobium<\/em> genus.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
