COLOR:
Heartwood ranges from a deep, rich dark brown to a
purplish black. Sapwood is nearly white to tan.
Difference between heartwood and sapwood color is great;
some flooring manufacturers steam lumber to bleed the
darker heartwood color into the sapwood resulting in a
more uniform color.
GRAIN: Mostly straight and
open, but some boards have burled or curly grain.
Arrangement of pores is similar to hickories and
persimmon, but pores are smaller in size.
VARIATIONS WITHIN SPECIES AND GRADES:
Great variety of color and figure
within species, as well as variation in color among
boards, especially in lower grades and from material
that isn't steamed prior kiln-drying. |
