Cedromara / Cedrorana
( Cedrelinga catenaeformis )
Colour , appearance :
Indistinct heartwood and sapwood, pinkish beige; noticeable and unpleasant smell
when the wood is moist but imperceptible when dry ; indistinct taste; low density;
Coarse texture.
– Durability: Cedroran wood has a moderate duration even when attacked by fungi
and termites. difficult to treat with water-soluble preservatives, even under pressure
treatment.
–Workability Cedroran is easy to plan, saw, rivet and screw. Receive a good finish
Artificial drying requires attention and must be well monitored.
