Cumaru is rated as easy to air-season with a slight tendency to check and with moderate warping; drying was uniformly rapid.

Uses

Outdoor Decking, flooring, cogs and shafts, heavy construction, barge and dock fenders, railroad crossties, pulp mill equipment, tool handles, bearings, turnery. A substitute for lignum vitae.

Comments

The Cumaru tree is cultivated in many areas for the tonka beans used as a flavoring, which have a vanilla-like flavor.
