Garapa

Garapa is one of the most valued species of exotic wood, which is currently quite commonly used in carpentry. This wood comes from South America - garapa trees mainly grow on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. When it comes to the durability of this wood, it is classified even as first-class durability, which is the best recommendation for use in construction, especially garapa. Garapa comes in various shades of beige, yellow, and deep brown. Therefore, it is a species of exotic wood whose colors are not too different from those we are used to in Poland. It is worth noting that under the influence of sunlight, pollen, and contaminants over time, the color of garapa wood darkens. In our climate, it often happens that tiny dark spots appear on the surface of garapa, which are the result of the action of microorganisms and bacteria typical for our climatic zone. However, it must be admitted that regardless of this, garapa is an extremely durable and resistant type of wood, and its light color is perfect for modern, sunny arrangements. Like some other species of exotic wood, garapa also has so-called pinholes, which, however, are not a defect of the raw material, but only a natural feature. As for the color scheme, it must also be acknowledged that garapa shows some diversity in this regard - even within one board of this species, we can notice that the color of this wood is by no means uniform.
