General Uses Top
Suggest a correction!Common products:
The primary commercial product derived from *Meliosma lanceolata* is sawn timber.
Industrial and craft applications:
The wood is utilized in general construction, particularly for beams and light framing. It is also employed in the manufacture of inexpensive furniture and in craft applications such as turnery.
Food and beverages (non-medicinal):
No verified non-medicinal food or beverage uses are documented for this species.
Colorants and tanning:
There is no documented use of the plant for dyes, inks, or tannins.
Wood and fiber:
The timber is classified as a hardwood. The wood's density is moderate, with air-dry density values reported around 0.50–0.55 g/cm³. The grain is typically straight to interlocked, and the texture is moderately coarse to coarse. This combination of properties makes it suitable for applications where structural strength and ease of working are required, such as light construction and furniture. The wood accepts nails and screws well and can be planed to a smooth finish.
Fragrance and cosmetics:
There are no documented fragrance or cosmetic uses of *Meliosma lanceolata*.
Properties relevant to use:
The wood's moderate density and favorable working properties are key to its utility in construction and furniture. It is relatively easy to saw, plane, and bore. While not documented for this specific species, the moderate density of related *Meliosma* timbers is often associated with adequate durability and strength for light structural uses.
Standards and regulation:
No specific industry standards or regulatory frameworks are documented for this timber species.
Sustainability and sourcing:
*Meliosma lanceolata* is listed as "Least Concern" on the IUCN Red List. It has a wide distribution in Southeast Asia. However, it is noted that the species may be threatened by habitat loss and logging in some parts of its range, which requires consideration for sustainable management and sourcing.
