(Caryota urens) The wood is hard with blackish and redish streaks which are quadrangular or triangular in section called fibor-vascular bundles. Irregular grain, coarse in texture, turns moderately well with a slightly coarse but nice finish.

• Turning blanks are sold partly seasoned with no guarantee of moisture content.
• Due to difficulty in maintaining a regular supply, wood will not be back ordered if out of stock.
