Sipo

This hard wood presents a fine texture.

The main colour of the heartwood is pink-brown, while the sapwood can vary from a greyish pink to white. 

It’s easy to work with, but it tends to twist and split if the drying process is not constant.

Sipo wood finds diverse applications in construction for beams, flooring, and panelling, offering durability and aesthetic appeal.

It is prized for luxury furniture, cabinets, and decorative veneer, showcasing its rich grain and colour.

Sipo is also favoured for turning into ornaments and furniture due to its workability.

In naval construction, it is utilised for boats, hulls, and decks.

Additionally, Sipo wood is used in crafting musical instruments and mouldings, highlighting its versatility across various industries.
