Source

Eveuss is available in the forests of Precious Woods, located in the Congo Basin of Gabon. The tree attains heights up to 50m and diameters between 60 and 100 cm. The trunks are straight and cylindrical and have thin buttress root boards.

Appearance

Freshly sawn Eveuss has an orange yellow to gold brown color. After exposure, the wood darkens to dark brown, with black veins. Often transition wood is present and sapwood is not or almost not easy to distinguish. Eveuss has no specific smell or taste. The wood structure is straight, sometimes irregular and wavy, and with interlocked grain. The texture is fine to medium fine.

Processing properties

The machining of Eveuss can be done rather easily, despite the high density and hardness. Pre-drilling is advised. The gluing properties are rather bad, but finishing is possible. It dries rather slowly, with risks of cracking and deformation.

Application

Thanks to its durability and hardness, Eveuss is used for heavy constructions, fresh water applications, bridges and industrial and truck floors. Furthermore, it is possible to apply this timber also for interior uses like parquet and flooring.
