Really interesting wood; grows up to 88.5 meter high and 9.9 meters in circumference which makes it the tallest tree to have ever been observed in South America.

I made a bench out of this wood and it smells like urine. Is there a way to get this smell out of the wood. It was finished with walrus oil
Thanks!
Tom

In reply to Pat.

Like many rainforest trees with high density wood it migt take 50 or more years to mature. It has been reported that for example Mahogany dont reach maturity (reproduction) until around 60-70 cm in diameter.
In the amazon, due to the high diversity, trees are harvested selectively and clear cutting is never an option.
Dinizia is not endangered or even vulnerable, according to IUCN its in the lower category.

Would really like to know how many years it takes for one of these trees to mature? If they’re being clear cut vs random harvesting we ALL know that is a BAD practice. Sounds like a species that is endangered & rare to me!

I got some great discounts on a large amount of spare Pedra decking. The smell was very weird, a cross between rosewood and urine. I thought the wood was on sale because someone pissed on it initially, but eventually the smell went away. The majority of the wood was very dense, but there are portions that soften greatly, to almost as soft as pine.
It has a very interesting pattern and the cathedrals on flat sawn board as amazing
