Heartwood is light yellowish-brown, distinct from the pale brown sapwood. It has an accentuated fibrous aspect at the tangential figure, due to prominence of axial parenchyma, fibers and vascular lines. Grain interlocked, texture coarse, luster lacking and with no distinctive door. Angelim pedra is easy-to-moderately difficult to work especially with hand tools; has a minor blunting effect on cutting edges. It sands and finishes well. * Please Note: These are not pre-bored or drilled.
