Sapwood is indistinct, straight grain with distinct and regular interlocked grain. Considered somewhat difficult to work due to its density and interlocking grain. Wood can have a pungent, unpleasant odor to some when being worked. Glues and finishes well. Common uses for Angelim include: furniture, turning, veneer to name a few.
