Black Frakè

Being almost identical to the White Frakè, this wood is also characterised by a medium and coarse texture with a straight grain.

The difference is in the colours that vary from a yellowish brown to a yellowish white, while the heartwood may present some blackish stripes.

It dries easily and presents no difficulty in the work process.

Black Frakè wood serves a variety of purposes across industries.

Primarily used in general construction for beams, boards, frames, and panelling, it also finds application in common furniture, cabinets, and plywood production.

Its strength makes it suitable for heavy packing and pallets, while its aesthetic qualities are valued in musical instruments, handicrafts, and decorative mouldings.

Black Frakè wood is also utilised in door cores, coffins, and cement boards. However, its properties make it unsuitable for marine environments.
