Workability: Jatoba is a very dense hardwood, so tool blunting can be expected. The interlocking grain makes it difficult to plane Jatoba. However, it glues, stains, and turns well.
Maintenance: Like most hardwoods, jatoba can be air-dried or kiln-dried.
Preservation: 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 the species of the least concern. Brazilian Lumber, LLC meets high standards for social, economic, and environmental responsibility.
