Cumaru, Brazilian Teak Species Information

Cumaru, commonly called Brazilian Chestnut, is a tough and dense wood imported from Brazil that has an irregular, somewhat interlocked grain and wavy, course texture. Because of its density, it is very resistant to termites and decay. Cumaru's heartwood is a medium brown with distinctive tan shades that compliment one another in with tonal warmth to create a relaxing feeling that's great to come home to.

Grading for Cumaru, Brazilian Teak

Std & Btr grade material is color matched in most species of wood. This is the highest grade available in our Southeast Asian decking items. No open defects are allowed on at least one face. Small tight knots, occasional pin holes, and other small non-structural defects are allowed on the back side and edges. The material is all heartwood, allowing an occasional sliver of sapwood on one face and one edge.
