TATAJUBA
bagassa guianensis
Tatajuba is currently only available in our lumber department as live edge slabs.
Heartwood colors range from red browns to more golden browns with lighter streaks. Usually interlocked grain with a medium to coarse texture. Used for heavy construction, as well as marine and boat construction, because of its hardness and durability.
Workability: Reported as easy to work. Both nail and screw holding properties are good. Pre-boring is still recommended. Tatajuba lumber also takes a high lustrous finish.
Common Uses: Tatajuba slabs make great table tops, counters, conference tables and other furniture.
