Cumaru Wood Slabs<\/h3>\n

<\/a>\n<\/div>\n

Cumaru has been an emerging wood out of Brazil for a while in lieu of Ipe for decking.\u00a0 Cumaru in slab form may even be more appealing than Ipe in slab form.\u00a0 It is nearly as hard and actually more dense.\u00a0 Even though as decking it doesn\u2019t quite live up to what Ipe is, in slab form it shines.\u00a0 As with many other species, the properties of Cumaru change a little in slab form.\u00a0 Very wide heartwood with a very distinct, very thin line of sapwood running along the sides really show off the beauty of Cumaru.\u00a0 The ribboning of the grain really shows up in all the heartwood.\u00a0 Along with the beauty comes a joy to work with. There is very little checking or cracking but end sealing is still recommended if it is not going to be getting a finish quickly.\u00a0 Cross cutting and ripping is achieved with relative ease.\u00a0 It machines in a planer well and can be sanded to a polish like finish.\u00a0 This truly is one of the best woods for a slab, whether it be an inside coffee table or an outside gathering table. Being able to offer a Cumaru table top to match the siding, decking, or flooring is an advantage most companies cannot offer.\u00a0 Only the highest quality logs that are sustainably harvested are selected to stay in slab form.\u00a0 The reason for this is two reasons. Slabs have the highest yield of any form and using the most wood is imperative to sustainable harvest A slab that comes from a lesser quality log will be slightly less stable. Not many companies have thought of leaving Cumaru in slab form because of its high value as decking.\u00a0 We believe that offering some of our Cumaru in the highest possible yield is imperative to keep our wholesalers competitive in an ever changing wood world.\u00a0 With our experience with Cumaru as slabs, you can always be assured that we will supply you the very best.\u00a0 Give us a call or email us to see what we have available or what we are expecting to be available shortly.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
