Primarily from Central America, South America, and Mexico, Guanacaste (Enterolobium cyclocarpum) has a light to medium brown heartwood, with a reddish hue and streaks of darker brown. The sapwood is pale yellow and is clearly demarcated from the heartwood. The grain of Guanacaste is slightly interlocked, a very coarse texture with a moderate natural luster. Machines easy with hand or machine tools; however, tear-out and fuzzing are common when planing. Glues and finishes well.
Features:
• Light to medium brown heartwood
• Pale yellow sapwood
• Grain slightly interlocked
• Machines, glues, and finishes well
