Information about merbau floors

Merbau

Merbau heartwood ranges from yellow to orange-brown, but darkens to reddish brown or brown. The graining varies from straight to wavy and sometimes even interlocked. One of its special characteristics is that a type of yellow flecking in the wood's pores changes the character when it is sanded. The result is wood with a surface that seems to be speckled with gold. Merbau is one of the hardest floors available.
