Warm pinkish-brown to reddish-brown tone with natural luster. Minimal visual difference between heartwood and sapwood ensures a clean, consistent look after finishing.
Commercially classified Red / Gray Canarium with consistent grading. Stable sourcing from Southeast Pacific regions — suitable for OEM furniture factories and high-volume veneer producers.
