Merbau hardwood decking by Exterpark
Scientific Name: Intsia bijuga
Other Names: Ipil, Taal and Kwila
Origin: Southeast Asia and islands in the Pacific Ocean
   
Appearance
 
When freshly cut, the heartwood of Merbau is a yellowish to orange-brown colour, but then darkens to brown or red brown. The grain of this coarse-textured wood varies from straight to interlocked or wavy. One of the distinctive properties of this wood is that surface of the boards may have yellow "flecking" in the pores; thus, when finished, the wood may appear almost flecked with gold.
