Greenheart

Wood Appearance
Light greenish to dark olive green, sometimes marked with brown or black streaks. Sapwood is pale yellow in color, shading gradually into heartwood. The texture is fine and even and grain straight or interlocked.

Natural Durability
Termite- and decay-resistant, highly resistant to marine organisms and considered to be fire-retardant. It does not require preservative treatment with chemicals.

Timber Processing
Working - Power required with blunting effect being moderate to high. Turns well. Planing is not difficult despite the high density of the wood and interlocked grain.
Assembly - Easy gluing. Pre-boring is recommended for nails and screws. Good nail holding.
Finishing - Staining rarely necessary. Polishes satisfactorily.

Uses
A very heavy, hard timber, suitable for use under extreme conditions. It is an excellent structural timber suitable for heavy outdoor construction work such as piers, docks and bridges (as found in New York City). Abundant in very large sizes and long lengths, it is also useful for long-lasting home improvements such as decking, hand rails, trellises, gazebos, etc.
