Indonesian Kapur Round Logs

The sapwood is usually white to yellowish-brown in colour and sharply defined from the heartwood, which is light red-brown to deep red-brown, with straight to shallowly interlocked grain and fairly coarse but even texture. It contains resin but this does not exude on to the wood surface. The wood has a camphor-like odour. The wood dries fairly slowly but well with little degrade. This dense wood has high bending and crushing strengths and medium stiffness and shock resistance, with a moderate steam-bending rating because of resin exudation. Machining can produce a fibrous finish, and there is a moderate to severe blunting effect of cutting edges. It glues well and provides a good finish when filled. Kapur is liable to blue stain if it is in contact with iron compounds in damp conditions, and the acidic character may induce the corrosion of metals. The sapwood is durable but liable to attack by powder post beetle. The heartwood is very durable and extremely resistant to preservative treatment. It is a good constructional timber for estate and farm buildings, and for wharf decking, exterior joinery, windows, doors, frames, stairs, cladding, garden seats and vehicle floors. It is used for wharves, dock work and bridges above the water line. It is rotary cut for plywood manufacture and selected logs are sliced for decorative veneers. It is available with more than 30 ft in length and more than 6 ft in girth.
