Makore with a pronounced dark mottled figure, creating a dramatic contrast of dark brown to near-black patches against a reddish-brown background. The mottled pattern is caused by interlocked grain reflecting light at different angles, producing a shimmering, three-dimensional effect.

Grain & Texture: Interlocked grain with a fine, even texture. The mottled figure creates a block or quilted pattern that shifts and moves under changing light. Very consistent and uniform.
Workability: Generally easy to work, though interlocked grain can cause tearout during planing. Glues, stains, and finishes well. The silica content can dull cutting edges more quickly than most species.
Uses: High-end architectural paneling, boardrooms, elevator cabs, luxury retail interiors. The dramatic dark mottled figure makes it ideal for feature walls and accent panels.
