General description
The standard Malaysian name for the heavy, red to red-brown timbers of the genus Shorea. The timber is a heavy hardwood with a density of 800 - 880 kg/m3 air dry. The sapwood is pink, purple-brown or grey-brown and is fairly distinct from the heartwood, which is light to deep red-brown. Texture is moderately fine to slightly coarse and even, with deeply interlocked grain. The timber is strong. It is slightly difficult to difficult to saw and work, although planing is easy and the surface produced is smooth to slightly rough. Nailing property varies according to species. The timber is moderately durable and is resistant to treatment with preservatives.
