The top half of the wood sample is unfinished and the lower half is finished with clear semi-gloss polyurethane.

The clearly demarcated sapwood is white to pale yellow in color. The heartwood is a dark golden-brown to dark golden yellow with darker chocolate-brown markings. There is moderate to high color variation between boards. Very heavy and hard with a very high resistance to shock.
