Massaranduba has heartwood with a beautiful
dark reddish brown color that is nearly blemished free. It’s
one of the finest products available for exterior decking.
The grain of the Massaranduba board is a fine smooth straight
grain, with a slight shift along the length of the board.
Massaranduba is an environmentally conscious
lumber; there is no need for preservatives. It only
needs to be treated annually with an oil-based hardwood finish
otherwise it will fade to a silver gray hue.
