Ceylon Satinwood

Chloroxylon swietenia

It can be processed without any particular difficulty using all the tools or machinery of the wood industry. Because of its good appearance, Satinwood is particularly used for making furniture. The only drawback of the sanding process is that it can cause dust irritating the mucous membranes of the workers.

Once particularly fashionable and sought after by the furniture industry, as well as by cutters and veneer plywood factories, it is now difficult to find and consequently highly prized.
