Tatajuba

You immediately recognise tatajuba by its beautiful golden-yellow sheen and colour. Tatajuba hardwood is often used as a substitute for iroko wood or moral. Unlike these two, however, tatajuba does not exhibit parenchyma. The major difference is in its voluminous mass and stability. Tatajuba is indeed heavier than iroko, but it is a less stable wood and harder to dry. You will also see this in the price: as tatajuba is one of the cheaper wood species in durability class 1.

Tatajuba wood is mainly used as decking and underlay, but can actually be used for any application for which iroko is also used. These include facade cladding, stairs, parquet flooring, interior joinery, window joinery and yacht building.
