AYOUS

AYOUS

FAMILY: Malvaceae
SCIENTIFIC NAME: Triplochiton Scleroxylon

TREE DESCRIPTION

Ayous trees can grow up to 30-60 meters in height, with trunk diameters reaching up to 1.5 meters. The bark is light grey and smooth when young but may become rough and fissured with age.

WOOD DESCRIPTION

  • Color: The heartwood is typically pale yellow to light brown, while the sapwood is nearly white.
  • Grain: Generally straight, with a fine and even texture.
  • Texture: Fine and even, making it easy to work with.

PROPERTY AND APPLICATION

  • Properties: Ayous wood is lightweight, easy to work with, and has good dimensional stability. It has moderate resistance to decay and is often used where weight reduction is important.
  • Applications: Commonly used in furniture, cabinetry, plywood, interior joinery, and as a core material in laminated products.

HOW TO USE IT

  • VERY GOOD
    Plywood production, furniture, and cabinetry.
  • GOOD
    Interior joinery.
  • USABLE
    Lightweight applications where structural strength is not critical.
  • NOT GOOD
    Outdoor use without treatment due to moderate durability and resistance to decay.
