FAS SE Kiln Dried & Air Dried

Latin Name : Chlorophora Excelsa

Colour varies from light yellow to golden brown and texture is coarse, often with an interlocked grain.  Works moderately easily with some dulling effect on tools and so a cutting angle of 150 is recommended.  Available in air-dried dimension stock for external construction work.  This is a hardwearing timber which is resistant to decay.  Has many of the desirable features of Teak.
