Rambutan

Rambutan is a Southest Asian wood that is similar in color to goncalo alves. It is perhaps a bit deeper in its orange color with less pronounced dark streaks. Although the tree is seldomly felled, Rambutan wood is moderately hard to very hard, strong and tough. It is easy to work on and finishes well, however, the reddish coloured timber tends to split unless carefully dried.
