Jatoba J05 — 920x137x20mm

Jatoba (Hymenaea courbaril)

Jatoba, also known as Brazilian Cherry, is a striking hardwood from Central and South America, prized for its rich, warm tones and exceptional hardness. Its deep reddish-brown heartwood, often with darker streaks, darkens beautifully with age and exposure to light — making it a favourite for flooring, furniture, and turned objects where durability and visual warmth are paramount.
