5/4 Live Edge

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Heartwood color can vary a fair amount, from a pale yellow-orange to a darker reddish brown, usually with darker streaks throughout. Pale yellow sapwood is sharply demarcated from heartwood. Color tends to darken and homogenize with age. Some pieces of Canarywood can be almost rainbow colored—with dark red streaks, along with the natural orange, yellow, and brown coloration.

Canarywood is said to have good acoustic properties, and is sometimes used for speaker enclosures and entertainment system cabinets.

WORKING PROPERTIES

Easy to work with both hand and machine tools, though some tearout can occur during planing on pieces with wild or irregular grain. Good dimensional stability. Turns, glues and finishes well. Grain is typically straight, but can be irregular or wild on some pieces. Uniform fine to medium texture with good natural luster.

MAIN USES

Construction lumber, flooring, veneers, boatbuilding, furniture, cabinetry, and turned items.
