General Uses Top
Suggest a correction!Common products:
Wood for interior and exterior structural and finishing applications.
Industrial and craft applications:
Solid timber for interior millwork, joinery, and furniture; engineered components for furniture frames and cabinetry; decking and cladding boards; general-purpose sawn lumber.
Food and beverages (non-medicinal):
No food or beverage uses are documented.
Colorants and tanning:
No documented use for dyes, inks, or vegetable tanning.
Wood and fiber:
Primary product is lumber (sawn wood). Reported uses include flooring, decking, cladding, furniture and cabinetry, and general construction timber. It is valued for moderate hardness and stability, good nail/bolt holding, and natural decay resistance that reduces the need for chemical treatment in many exterior applications. The reported average air-dry density is about 730 kg/m³, contributing to its mechanical performance and durability.
Properties relevant to use:
Density and hardness provide resistance to wear and deformation in floors and decking. Natural decay and termite resistance (in-ground contact performance reported in service classes up to UC4 under EN 335) reduce preservative requirements. Dimensionally stable compared to many tropical species when properly dried.
Standards and regulation:
International trade typically follows the CITES Appendices; A. leiocarpa is listed in Appendix II (with a zero-export quota in Brazil). Timber and certification management in major markets follows due-diligence requirements such as the EU Timber Regulation (EUTR/ EUDR) and U.S. Lacey Act. Engineers may consult BS EN 1910 (species data) and BS EN 350 (natural durability) for specification.
Sustainability and sourcing:
Classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List; protected by national legislation in Brazil with restricted cutting and commerce. Supplies are primarily plantation-grown and/or from managed natural regeneration; selective logging under good forest management practices is recommended. Main producers include Brazil; lesser volumes from Peru and Bolivia.
