It has an interlocking grain and a broad range of colours from pale green, like greenheart, through to the most beautiful pale pinks streaks. Each piece is different.

Tatabu: Tatabu is quite a different looking wood from S.America. It has bands of colour ranging from mustard yellow, to orangy brown, all in midtones. The wood is very dense and often has a white power coat of silica dust, thus WEAR a dust mask, and expect tool wear. It is an oily wood. With a carefully finish tatabu,shows beautiful colours that are quite distinct and yet to be duplicated with any other species.
