Cumaru, or Brazilian teak as it is widely called, is known for its exceptional hardness and durability. This dense wood has a range of colors varying from a tan brown to a reddish brown with some pieces offering a black striping. This exotic hardwood is a great choice in both residential and commercial installations, especially to users who prefer a more brownish look to their application. Cumaru's appearance makes it a great sustainable alternative for Burmese teak, with the added benefit of being more than three times as hard.
