Botanically, lati and wenge aren’t closely related, and occur in two separate genera, Amphimas and Millettia, respectively. Nonetheless, flatsawn lati has a unique grain appearance that is very similar to wenge, though in a golden yellow color rather than dark brown. Sustainability: This wood species is not listed in the CITES Appendices, and is reported by the IUCN as being a species of least concern.Ĭommon Uses: Veneer, plywood, interior trim, furniture, and flooring.Ĭomments: Generally not regarded as being very stable in service, which is aggravated by the fact that the flatsawn surface (i.e., the least stable surface) is considered the most decorative and showy. Expect prices to be moderate for an imported hardwood. Pricing/Availability: Not commonly seen or imported, lati is occasionally offered for sale as lumber or veneer. See the articles Wood Allergies and Toxicity and Wood Dust Safety for more information. Glues and finishes well.Īllergies/Toxicity: Besides the standard health risks associated with any type of wood dust, no further health reactions have been associated with lati. The set includes exotic wood items only not Catan. Each has a high grade appearance and is consistent in thickness. This set will be custom made once your order is placed. Moderate blunting effect on cutting edges. You must own the Settlers of Catan game by Klaus Teuber in order to use and enjoy this board. Drying defects can occur if working with green wood. Workability: Generally easy to work with hand and machine tools, though the wood has higher-than-average cutting resistance (as well as good wear resistance). Rot Resistance: Rated as non-durable to moderately durable susceptible to most insect attacks, though moderately resistant to termites. Grain/Texture: Grain is straight, with a uniformly coarse texture. The pale yellowish color tends to darken to a more golden yellow over time. In both cases, this is due to very wide bands of parenchyma throughout the wood. Lati is sometimes called white wenge because of the similarity of its grain patterns to wenge (Millettia laurentii)-particularly on flatsawn surfaces. Yellowish sapwood isn’t always defined from heartwood. Post the missing times in the comments and will I update this post.Color/Appearance: Heartwood is a light yellowish brown.
