General Features:
Color: golden brown to reddish brown, easily distinguishable from sapwood, which is slightly white to gray in color. Shades: Beautifully decorative thanks to the clear growing circle, slightly opaque and greasy. Texture: slightly coarse to coarse and uneven. Fiber Direction: Straight, Wavy to slightly blended. Growing Circles: very clearly visible, both in the transverse, radial and tangential planes. Hardness: Slightly Hard.
Anatomical Features:
Vessels/Pore: circular arrangement, circular to ovoid in shape, tangential diameter of the initial wood section about 340-370 microns, in the final wood about 50-290 microns, simple perforated planes, containing tilosis or white deposits. Parenchyma: paratracheal type: thin sheath form, in the early wood the sheath is rather wide to form a marginal band; the rare apotracheal type, generally forming chains consisting of about 4 cells. Radius: wide, consisting of 4 series or more, the number is about 4-7 per mm, the direction is tangential, the composition of the cells is homocellular (only lying cells), the height can reach 0.9 mm
