Dabema

This wood has a medium texture.

The sapwood and heartwood can be clearly differentiated: the first is characterised by a whitish colour, while the second has a yellowish-brown tone with darker veins.

The drying process is usually slow and difficult, while the work process is easy, however, it tends to wear out the tools.

Dabema wood is primarily utilised in various exterior applications, such as rails and decking, highlighting its durability and weather resistance.

Its olfactory feature is especially appreciated. In general housing, it finds use in beams, joists, boards, flooring, parquet, frames, and steps, showcasing its structural strength.

Dabema is also favoured for common furniture and cabinets, known for its robustness and aesthetic appeal.

Additionally, it is employed in containers, including truck bodies and flooring, as well as in boatbuilding and docks, underscoring its versatility across different industries.
