Makore Hardwood Lumber

All lumber prices shown are per board foot, unless otherwise noted.

Color:

Heartwood pink or reddish brown, sometimes with streaks of mild color variation. Yellowish sapwood can be two to three inches wide, and is clearly demarcated from the heartwood. Figured grain patterns (such as mottled or curly) are a common occurrence.

Grain:

Grain generally straight, though interlocked or wavy grain is sometimes present. Fine, even texture with good natural luster.

Workability:

Generally easy to work, though sections with interlocked grain can cause tearout during planing or other machining operations. Makore will react when put into direct contact with iron, becoming discolored and stained. Makore also has a pronounced blunting effect on cutters due to its high silica content. Besides this dulling effect, makore turns well, and is easy to glue and finish.

Physical properties:

Very durable wood, resistant to termites and fungi. It is adapted to exterior carpentry works, as well as to industrial uses.
