Massaranduba (Manilkara bidentata) is a dense, durable hardwood native to South America, primarily found in the tropical rainforests of countries such as Brazil, Guyana, and Suriname. Often referred to as the “Brazilian Red Oak” or “Bulletwood,” Massaranduba is known for its rich reddish-brown to deep mahogany hue, which darkens with age. The wood has a fine, even texture with a straight grain, though some pieces can display a slightly interlocking or wavy grain, adding to its visual appeal. Massaranduba’s colour and grain characteristics make it a striking choice for a wide variety of woodworking applications.
Highly valued for its impressive hardness and exceptional durability, Massaranduba is ideal for projects that require strength and resilience. It is commonly used in the construction of outdoor furniture, decking, flooring, and other high-performance applications due to its natural resistance to wear, moisture, and insect damage. The wood is also used in creating solid furniture pieces, cabinetry, and joinery, where its beautiful appearance and longevity can be fully appreciated. Massaranduba is even employed in heavy-duty uses, such as for railway ties and structural beams, thanks to its remarkable toughness.
