MECHANICAL PROPERTIES Due to the high silica content this wood requires carbide tooling when milling it. This silica content also has a dulling effect on drill bits and plug cutters.
WORKING PROPERTIES This wood is easier to work with than the harder wood decking options we offer such as: Ipe and Cumaru
DURABILITY Great durability with a very high resistance to daily wear and tear. Garapa also features a Class A fire rating.
SEASONING As the wood weathers, it takes on light silvery gray tones. This natural process can be inhibited by using a sealer to keep its natural color.
