Meranti Wood
Typically it has a dark reddish or purplish brown; commonly with white resin streaks present. Grain can be straight or interlocked. With coarse texture and low natural luster.
The color of Meranti heartwood varies sharply from dark red to light red-brown and from pale pink to pink-red. Given the diversity of tree types and their region of origin, for the Shorea red Meranti species there will always be differences in shades and weights in a delivery of timber. The pink grey sapwood is 20-50 mm thick and distinct from the heartwood.
