Cabreuva wood possesses an intrinsically uniform and straight wood grain and a defined texture that can range from fine to medium.
Its typical colour pallet most often travels between yellow and a light red or salmon tint when the tree has been freshly cut.
Over time after a tree has been cut, the colour will mature to a deep, reddish-brown hue looking extremely stunning when lacquered.
When exposed to an intense light source over a long period of time, the wood flooring will show anywhere from very moderate to a somewhat pronounced colour variation.
