Cumaru
The heartwood is yellow-brown to red-brown, yellow-brown varieties often with colored streaks. Cumaru feels slightly oily and has a slight vanilla scent when fresh.
Note: The yellow-brown cumaru from eastern Brazil differs significantly in structure and texture from the cumaru from the Brazilian state of Acre and the neighboring Spanish-speaking countries of South America. It is characterized by higher density, hardness, strength, and dimensional stability.
Unless otherwise specified, MAICURU only stocks the higher-quality yellow-brown cumaru from eastern Brazil as standard.
This species requires a CITES certificate.
