Bruinhart has a nice smooth finish. Bruinhart comes from Suriname, Guyana, and Brazil.
Characteristics of this wood are the light line markings on the dark brown background.
The wood has moderate mechanical properties and can be worked well, despite its weight and hardness.

APPLICATION: HYDRAULIC ENGINEERING, FURNITURE, PLANKS, BEAMS.

NEW OAK

Durability 2-3

Because of its durability, it falls under European hardwood. Oak is easy to process and therefore offers many possibilities.

APPLICATION: CONSTRUCTION WOOD AND FURNITURE WOOD. THE WOOD HAS ITS OWN CHARACTER WITH BEAUTIFUL 'FLAME MARKINGS'.

Available in: Furniture, shelves, beams.

PINEWOOD

Durability 4-5

The color of the fresh heartwood is light brown. Over time it darkens and then varies from yellow-brown to red-brown.
Pine wood is a softwood species and is known for its pronounced flame pattern. It has a distinctive yellowish-light color and the grain is moderately fine.

APPLICATION: THIS TYPE OF WOOD IS VERY LOVED AS GARDEN WOOD, ESPECIALLY AFTER IT HAS BEEN IMPREGNED. YOU CAN ALSO SEE IT AS CONSTRUCTION WOOD OR EVEN AS INTERNAL FLOOR FOR A LOG CABIN.

Available in: Furniture, planks, beams, construction wood.

WALNUT

Durability 2-3

A major advantage of walnut wood is that it does not shrink or grow under certain weather conditions. Furthermore, the wood is relatively easy to work with and to finish beautifully.

APPLICATION: BECAUSE WALNUT WOOD IS EASILY WORKED DUE TO ITS SOFTNESS, THIS WOOD SPECIES IS FREQUENTLY APPLIED FOR DECORATIVE FURNITURE SUCH AS DRESSER OR CABINETS. EXCEPT FOR A DECORATIVE APPLICATION, WALNUT CAN ALSO BE USED TO MAKE USE FURNITURE SUCH AS TABLES AND CHAIRS. HOWEVER, THE WOOD IS VERY SENSITIVE TO DEntS SO WALTON WOOD FURNITURE MUST BE HANDLED WITH CARE.

Available in: Furniture, Vineer, Shelves.

BASRALOCUS

Durability 1-2

The heartwood is golden-, rust- or purple-brown in colour, usually with a brown-red glow. It clearly contrasts with the 30-60 mm thick sapwood, which is light grey when fresh and becomes light red-brown after exposure to daylight. Smooth planed, Basralocus naturally has a fairly high lustre. The heartwood is very durable and therefore highly resistant to fungal and insect attack. Basralocus is resistant to pile worm infestation in temperate climates. It is gratefully used in hydraulic engineering, especially in seawater. Basralocus is resistant to acid attack. 

APPLICATION: ITS RESISTANCE AND STRENGTH MAKE IT EMINENTLY SUITABLE FOR USE AS PILE AND CONSTRUCTION TIMBER IN HYDRAULIC ENGINEERING, SUCH AS FOR FENDERS, JETTIES, LOCK GATES, PURLINS AND GRAYNES. PILES IN HYDRAULIC ENGINEERING ARE USUALLY MADE OF BASRALOCUS. IT IS ALSO EXCELLENT FOR FACADE PANELLING, INTERIOR PANELLING AND FOR PARQUET AND STRIP FLOORS. ITS RESISTANCE TO ACIDS MAKES IT SUITABLE FOR VESSELS FOR ACIDIC LIQUIDS. IT IS ALSO USED FOR FURNITURE

Available in: Furniture, planks, beams, posts (other options on request).

IPE (GROENHART)

Durability 1-2

The heartwood is light to dark olive green, sometimes marked with brown or black stripes. These color differences can occur in one trunk, which sometimes gives Groenhart a colorful appearance.
Groenhart is a type of wood with exceptionally good strength properties.

Due to the high durability, strength and large dimensions in which the wood is available, it is mainly used for heavy construction work (water, bridge and shipbuilding and harbor works). It is also suitable for heavy workbenches and industrial floors. The chemical industry has also had good experiences with Groenhart.

MAHOGANY

Durability 2

Mahogany is a beautiful, solid, soft, tough, moderately strong wood. The heartwood is salmon-colored, pink, red to red-brown, later coloring to deep red or brown with a golden glow. It can be processed well, both with hand tools and by machine. Planing is generally going well.

APPLICATION : Furniture, joinery, hull planking and yacht paneling, paneling, turning, sculpture, knobs and handles, mouldings, veneer, etc.

Sucupira (Makka Kabbes)

Durability 2-3

Machining goes well. The planed product becomes beautifully smooth. The veins can take on a golden-yellow glow when treated. 

APPLICATION : TIMBORANA IS SUITABLE FOR FACADE CLADDING, FURNITURE, BEAM TIMBER, DECKING AND BENCH BOARDS. DUE TO ITS STRENGTH, THE WOOD IS ALSO USED AS CONSTRUCTION TIMBER.

Available in : One-slab table tops, furniture, planks, beams, round timber, (other options on request).

Cupiuba (Kopie)

Durability : 2

The heartwood is brick-red to yellow-brown, slightly darkening. The sapwood is reddish-brown, sometimes with yellow spots and clearly distinguishable from the heartwood. An unpleasant symptom of copy is that the damp trunk has a strong smell. This odor diminishes after drying. It is easy to saw and an ideal species for construction, water and horticulture.

APPLICATION: MAINLY AS CONSTRUCTION TIMBER IN BRIDGES, HARBOR AND WATERWORKS. IN THE NETHERLANDS, IT IS USED FOR LOCK GATES, BRIDGE DECKS, POST AND CLEAT TIMBER, PURLIN TIMBER AND BULKHEAD BEAMS.

Available in: One-slab table tops, furniture, planks, beams, round timber (other options on request).

PURPLE HEART

Durability 2

The pale brown heartwood discolors rapidly to a beautiful purple-blue when exposed to light. To preserve this colour as well as possible, the wood should be well sealed off from the air with wax or certain varnishes. If you do not finish the wood, the purple colour turns dirty brown. The sapwood is white to grey-brown and is 30-60 mm wide. 

APPLICATION : MAINLY FOR DECORATION, SCULPTURE AND CARVING, FURNITURE, TURNED GOODS, PANELLING, MOULDING, KNOBS AND HANDLES, KNIFE HANDLES, BANISTERS, MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS AND SUITABLE FOR USE IN THE CHEMICAL INDUSTRY.
