Tiama

This wood is characterised by its strong irregular grain and its frequent pockets of gum-resin secretion.

The sapwood is wide, and the colours vary from the pink of the sapwood to the reddish brown of the heartwood if it is in a fresh state, while it turns into darker or even purplish shades along the seasoning process.

Tiama wood finds extensive use in general housing applications such as beams, flooring, and panelling, as well as in crafting luxury furniture and cabinets.

It is also a preferred material for plywood and decorative veneers due to its attractive grain patterns.

Tiama is commonly used in turning for creating ornaments and furniture pieces, showcasing its versatility.

It can also be used in naval construction for boat decks and port storage.
