Grain & Texture: Grain is straight to slightly interlocked. Medium to coarse texture, with moderate natural luster.
Workability: Overall a fairly easy wood to work, though Ovangkol contains silica and can therefore dull cutters prematurely. Also, if the grain is interlocked, or if there is other figure present in the wood, planing and other machining operations may be troublesome and cause tearout. Turns, glues and finishes well.
Uses: Veneer, furniture, cabinetry, turned objects, musical instruments, and flooring.
