Merbau

  • Appearance: Deep reddish-brown with golden mineral flecks and an interlocked grain.

Common Questions and Facts on Merbau

Merbau Hardwood Lumber

Merbau is a dense Southeast Asian hardwood with deep reddish-brown colour and golden flecks. It is best known for flooring and decking because it wears so well, and it makes bold, heavy-duty furniture.

Working and Finishing Merbau

Use sharp carbide tooling and take light passes on interlocked grain. A hardwax oil deepens its warm colour. Outdoors, let it weather or seal it well, as its natural extractives can stain nearby surfaces when wet.

Choosing Your Boards

S4S packs are dressed four sides and ready to build. Natural colour varies between boards. Browse more exotic hardwoods.
