General Description: Jelutong wood has a light whitish tone to its heartwood, which darkens slightly to yellowish brown with age. The grain is straight and interlocked, giving it a unique texture that is easy to shape. It has no natural resistance to decay and termites, making it a less ideal choice for outdoor projects. However, when treated with preservatives, it can withstand outdoor elements for a long period of time. It is also much lighter than many other hardwoods, making it easier to move and manipulate.
