Guanacaste Workability:

Guanacaste is easy to work with both by hand and machine tools, but tear out is common during planning. It finishes smoothly into a high luster.

Because it is so beautiful and similiar in appearance to Koa, Guanacaste is used in furniture, cabinetry, veneer, turnings and gunstocks. Its wide widths makes it ideal for 1 piece table tops.

The heartwood has a beautiful reddish brown color and Koa-like figure. The sapwood is an off-white to pale yellow color and is clearly demarcated from the heartwood.
