Merbau (Vengai)

DESCRIPTION: Has an orangish-brown color when freshly cut, which ages to a darker reddish-brown. Color between boards can be highly variable. There are also small yellow mineral deposits found throughout the wood, making it easier to separate from other lookalikes. (These yellow deposits are water-soluble and can cause staining.) This wood has excellent strength characteristics, along with excellent stability, making it ideally suited for use as wood flooring and other applications where strength is important. It is commonly used for furniture and other specialty wood items in southeast Asia where this wood grows naturally. BOTANICAL NAME:Intsia spp. (I. bijuga, I. palembanica) OTHER NAMES: Merbau, Kwila, Ipil MECHANICAL PROPERTIES: Has a unique smell when being sawed or sanded: which can also cause irritation and sneezing. WORKING PROPERTIES: Glues and finishes well, though it can be difficult to saw due to gumming and dulling of teeth.

Standing trees are girdled and left to dry for three years before felling. Small movement. USES:Floor underlayment, cabinets, paneling, furniture fixtures, and general plywood.
