This species grows in Southern Brazil. It is a colorful, fine textured wood, prized by woodworkers. The heartwood is yellow-olive to chocolate brown, sometimes gray-brown, with variegated streaks and stripes. Grain pattern varies widely, with many different figures occurring in individual boards. It is hard and moderately heavy (about 42 pounds per cubic foot). Heartwood is durable. Emits a spicy, resinous scent and taste.
It is easy to work with hand and power tools, although grain tends to pick up when planing. Finishes to a high luster. Glues well.
Used for high grade furniture, cabinetry, joinery, gun stocks & musical instruments
