Acajou

This wood is characterised by its medium grain and generally strongly intertwined texture.

Its main colour is pink-brownish and the sapwood and heartwood are not very different.

It is generally easy to work with and it has a good mechanical strength, which can give to some plants a slight counter-grain.

Acajou wood finds diverse applications across several industries.

Primarily used in general housing for beams, joints, boards, and frames, it also shines in furniture and cabinets, ranging from luxurious pieces to common fixtures. Its suitability for plywood and veneer enhances its appeal in both functional and decorative applications.

Acajou’s aesthetic charm extends to turning, where it’s crafted into exquisite ornaments and turned furniture.

Despite its limited use in marine environments, it remains employed in naval construction for boats, hulls, decks, and port storage, showcasing its versatility and durability across various sectors.
