Goiabao

Trade Name :
Goiabao

Origin :
Goiabao, Abiu Casca Grossa, in South America Abiurana

Uses :
Without figure, this wood is hardly known or used in Central Europe – only for interior or side veneers – due to its uniformity with no expression. Figured, however, sought for in non-European countries (USA, Asia) where it is used for special object construction; in South America used in shipbuilding, for furniture and as construction wood; in veneer form used for boards in southern Asia.

Properties :
Straw-yellow and very uniform colour. Shows very little structure even after surface finishing. More interesting in the figured form. Then used for interior and special object construction.

Jointing :
Joints are easy to produce with glue and hold well.
