Acacia is a dense, strong wood that can survive a wide range of climatic conditions. Because of its high resilience and natural durability, it is an excellent choice for all external projects and a great alternative to exotic woods.

Acacia is the most difficult of all hardwoods, with a great density and resilience. Its wood has a multidirectional structure (fibers point in the same direction) and a high friction resistance, making it difficult to treat when dry. The sapwood is yellowish or light brown, and the core of the trunk is a noble reddish-brown color with dark veins. Because acacia wood is prone to cracking, it requires a unique, careful drying regimen acacia-timber,acacia lumber supplier
