Nargusta Burl

Nargusta is a tropical hardwood species with a wide range throughout Central and northern South America. The grain is tight, and extremely non-porous, which makes treatment difficult, but also results in excellent durability. Nargusta’s heartwood holds up well to fungal-decay and is resistant to termite attack. Once finished, Nargusta should provide a durable, long lasting product. Nargusta is generally considered difficult to work by hand, because of its hardness and blunting affect. However, straight-grained sections are more workable and yield excellent results from machining. Fasteners hold well, but gluing capability is poor.
