Color/Appearance: Color of freshly sawn heartwood ranges from bright yellow to golden yellow, darkening to a golden or reddish brown upon exposure to light. Pale yellow-white sapwood is sharply demarcated from heartwood. Quartersawn surfaces have a striped figure similar to Sapele’s ribbon stripe, though the stripes are much broader.

Grain/Texture: Interlocked grain, with a medium, uniform texture. Has a good amount of natural luster.

Rot Resistance: Tatajuba has been reported to be durable to very durable regarding decay resistance, with good resistance to insect attack. However, it’s reported to have rather poor weathering characteristics.
