TZALAM, Select & Better, KD

Tzalam Lumber (Imported Woods), known for its light to medium brown heartwood with reddish or purplish hues, is a durable hardwood. It features darker brown streaks and a thin, pale grayish-white sapwood that is clearly distinguishable. Curly grain patterns may also be present. The wood has a straight grain with an open, uniform texture and a moderate luster. Tzalam Lumber is highly resistant to decay and insect attacks, making it a suitable choice for various applications. While it is generally easy to work with, it can dull cutting tools faster than other woods. Despite this, Tzalam turns, glues, and finishes well, and can achieve a high natural polish. Common uses for Tzalam include flooring, exterior furniture, interior trim, turned objects, and other small, specialty wood items. Its durability, attractive appearance, and good working properties make it a popular choice among woodworkers and builders.
