Current Hardwoods Stock List


HARDWOODS


Meranti – Dark Red

meranti

Dark Red Meranti Hardwood

Environmental Profile
Rather secure. Little or no threat to its population. Sourced from Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines.

Sapwood Colour
Purplish in colour and not clearly demarcated from heartwood.

Heartwood Colour
Dark brown to deep red and sometimes deep purple. Conspicuous white dammer or red streaks.

Grain
Typically interlocked

Texture
Rather coarse

Lustre
Dull, non-lustrous

Ease Of Drying
Slowly and fairly difficult to dry. Warping may occur. Thick material may check and end split.

Movement In Service
Dimensional stability after seasoning and holds shape well.

Natural Durability
Heartwood moderately durable to durable. Sapwood vulnerable to powder post beetle. Not resistant to attack by marine borers.

Resistance to Impregnation
Heartwood varies from resistant to very resistant. Sapwood fairly permeable to permeable.

Cutting Resistance
Generally easy to saw but the presence of interlocked grain may cause sawn surfaces to be fibrous.

Blunting Effect On Cutters
Slight blunting.

Planing
Harder and stronger than light red. Generally easy to plane and work in most operations. Responds well to ordinary tools but cutting edges need to be kept clean and very sharp. Reducing the cutting angle to 20 degrees is recommended to prevent tearing where there is interlocking grain.

Turning
Generally good, usually clean if straight grained.

Moulding Properties
Stronger and harder than light red, but moulds rather easily to produce clean surfaces.

Boring
Relatively easy, but bored surfaces of materials containing interlocking grain may be fuzzy.

Routing and Recessing
Generally easy to rout with machine tools. Cutting edges should be kept clean and sharp.

Mortising
Easily and cleanly with sharp tools.

Carving
Generally good.

Gluing
Good

Nailing
Good

Screwing
Good

Sanding
Denser, dark red timber better quality than lighter

Polishing
Good

Staining
Satisfactory

Steam Bending
Poor, buckles severely even with supporting strap.

Response To Hand Tools
Responds well, cutting edges should be clean and very sharp.

Strength
High bending strength in air-dry conditions (12% moisture approx). Compares favourably with Teak. Maximum crushing strength medium, which is lower than Teak. Moderately hard. High Weight. High Density.
