Jatoba Hardwood Technical Information
| Species: Hymenaea courbaril.
Other names: Jatoba, Brazilian Cherry, Jatobá. Jatoba Origin: Central America, southern Mexico, northern South America, and the West Indies. Appearance: Jatoba’s coloring is on the lighter side of brown, with reddish tones. Tree Size: 100-130 ft (30-40 m) tall, 2-4 ft (.6-1.2 m) trunk diameter. Average Dried Weight: 57 lbs/ft3 (910 kg/m3). Specific Gravity (Basic, 12% MC): .77, .91. Janka Hardness: 2,690 lbf (11,950 N). Modulus of Rupture: 22,510 lbf/in2 (155.2 MPa). Elastic Modulus: 2,745,000 lbf/in2 (18.93 GPa). Crushing Strength: 11,780 lbf/in2 (81.2 MPa). Shrinkage: Radial: 4.2%, Tangential: 8.0%, Volumetric: 12.1%, T/R Ratio: 1.9. |
Workability: Jatoba is a very dense hardwood, so tool blunting can be expected. The interlocking grain makes it challenging to plane Jatoba; however, it glues, stains, and turns well.
Maintenance: Like most hardwoods, Jatoba can be air-dried or kiln-dried.
Preservation: In order to maintain Jatoba’s coloring, it is important to apply a UV-blocking sealer if Jatoba is installed outdoors.
Sustainable: The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) does not list jatoba in its appendices. The Forest Legality Initiative also states that jatoba can be exported traded internationally. International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red List of Threatened Species (IUCN) does not list Jatoba as an endangered species, in fact, it is listed as species of least concern.
