General Uses Top

Suggest a correction!

Wood and fiber:
The wood is used for matchsticks, pencil slats, and light indoor joinery. Its moderate density and fine, even grain support these applications.

Industrial and craft applications:
The timber is valued in local industries for conversion to small-dimension stock and craft components due to workability and consistent grain.

Colorants and tanning:
Bark material has been reported as a source of tannins; historical records note use of bark extracts for leather tanning and brown colorants, though standardized composition data are limited.

Sustainability and sourcing:
The species occurs across South and Southeast Asia; specific timber volumes are not quantified in widely available literature. Management focuses on selection for small-dimension products, and local harvesting typically targets mature trees while leaving understorey for regeneration.
