Azobè

The texture of this wood is mainly coarse with an irregular grain that sometimes is interlocked.

The sapwood varies from a pinkish to a light brown, while the heartwood ranges from a reddish brown to a purplish shade.

It has a difficult workability due to the density and the interlocked grain. The drying process must be slow and careful.

Azobè wood is renowned for its exceptional resistance to seawater and weather, making it ideal for a range of outdoor applications.

It is extensively used in marine settings for boatbuilding, bridges, piers, and decking, where durability is paramount.

In construction, Azobè is valued for flooring, beams, and parquet due to its strength and longevity.

Its robustness extends to containers like cooperage, truck bodies, and flooring, where its resilience ensures reliability and longevity in demanding environments.
