Description: It is a solid wood that is favorably used for intarsia and decorative veneers due to its irregular growth
patterns. The heartwood is pink to pinkish brown, with a soft appearance of tan streaks throughout. The sapwood can be up to 4.5 inches thick and is light pink or off-white in color. Fair workability using hand and machine tools. Blunting of cutting edges is caused by a high silica content.
