Meranti Wood
Typically it has a dark reddish or purplish brown; commonly with white resin streaks present. Grain can be
straight or interlocked. With coarse texture and low natural luster.
Overview
The color of Meranti heartwood varies sharply from dark red to light red-brown and from pale pink to
pink-red. Given the diversity of tree types and their region of origin, for the Shorea red Meranti species
there will always be differences in shades and weights in a delivery of timber. The pink grey sapwood is
20-50 mm thick and distinct from the heartwood.
Main Uses
It could be used in Interior furniture, General construction, Concrete forms and Boat Building.
Working Properties
Typically easy to work, though any interlocked grain can present problems during planning, and Dark Red
Meranti is reported to have very poor steam-bending properties. Some species may have a slight blunting
effect on tools due to small levels of silica present in the wood. Glues, stains, and finishes well.
