Wana - Dimensional Lumber

Scientific name: Ocotea rubra

Common Names:

Determa (Guyana), Wana (Surinam), Grignon rouge (French Guiana), Louro vermelho (Brazil)

Description:

Heartwood is light reddish brown with a golden sheen; well-defined sapwood is narrow, dull gray, or pale yellowish brown. Texture is rather coarse; grain is interlocked to straight; quartersawn lumber is sometimes attractively figured. 

Region: South America                                                                                                                                  

Notes:

• Dimensional boards are cut from premium kiln dried lumber and surfaced on 2 sides.
• Sapwood is not considered a defect and may be found in some boards.
• Due to the nature of wood, no two pieces are alike, and movement, shrinkage, or expansion can occur.
• Pictures are representations.
• Dimensions may vary +/- ⅛"
• Wood dust has been known to cause allergic reactions among wood workers, therefore sufficient ventilation, dust extraction equipment, and the use of proper respirators and eye protection is essential.
