Angelim Pedra, grown in Brazil, is known for its durability and natural resistance to rot. This light orange to orange-tan lumber species naturally resists rot and fungus, making it a natural choice for use in the transportation industry as trailer flooring. It has a low luster and straight to interlocked grain. Angelim Pedra is easy to work with and machines to a smooth surface.
