NORTHERN BOX
 

Tristaniopsis obovate

Northern Box (Pelawan) is imported from Malaysia and Indonesia and is a large hardwood with an extremely clean grain generally free of natural features. The heartwood is a reddish brown or purple grey-brown with a tight interlocked wavy grain. A little extra effort is required when using Northern Box as it is an extremely hard durable hardwood but the reward given for the extra effort when working with it is a longer lasting deck or screen that some other hardwoods on the market.
