Andiroba is a tropical wood from the Amazon Rain Forest and from Central and South America and the Carribean with a texture similar to true mahogany. It has a straight and sometimes interlocked grain and is medium to somewhat coarse in texture.
The sapwood of andiroba is pink when freshly cut but quickly turns to a pale grayish-brown after exposure. The reddish-brown heartwood varies in shade from medium to dark, adding a cozy and warming feeling to any room. Andiroba is also rated as both very easy to work with and durable, with marked resistance to insects and decay ensuring the long lasting enjoyment of an Andiroba floor.
