APPEARANCE AND
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES.
Sawn kosipo is brown to dark red brown and therefore darker than sipo. The sapwood is always clearly identifiable and can be up to 50 mm thick. Kosipo wood has a predominantly medium coarse texture. It is difficult to easy to work, but very often blunts cutting tools. Pre-drilling is recommended. Surface treatments are possible but often require pre-treatments and slow drying.
APPLICATION
AREAS.
Kosipo is often used as a substitute for sipo and sapele, but is also used to produce façades, furniture, stairs and parquet floors as well as in yacht building and shipbuilding.
