The Look of Cabreuva

Cabreuva has a generally uniform and straight grain and a texture ranging from fine to medium. The color falls between yellow and rosy red or salmon when the tree is freshly cut, or reddish brown when the tree is mature. If exposed to intense light, it can show moderate to very pronounced color variation.

Cabreuva shows full, rich color through the entire thickness of the wood, which helps to hide wear marks.
