Also known as “Royal Mahogany,” Jequitibá wood was introduced as a cost-effective, lighter colored and lower heft substitute to Mahogany wood. Jequitibá has a clear grain structure, with the heartwood ranging in color value from light caramel-tan, to pinkish brown, with darker streaks contrasting the pale brown sapwood in the length of the grain. The grain is straight to interlocked with a medium luster and texture that runs from fine to medium-course.
With each piece of harvested lumber being unique, varietal graining patterns, inherent to natural wood, should be anticipated and expected. The examples below show how each wood species will provide a range of tones across a single piece of lumber, creating a unique aesthetic in the final product of all of our wood furnishings.
