The heartwood of this timber is a veritable rainbow of colours ranging from yellows and oranges to darker reddish brown. The sapwood is easy to spot and is a pale yellow in colour. The grain can vary from straight (typical) to irregular and wild in some cases.
Known for its dimensional stability, Canarywood works well with both hand and power tools. Tearout is a distinct possibility with the more figured or wild grain examples.
Canarywood is used for a large variety of things such as construction lumber, boat building, veneer, furniture, cabinetmaking, and woodturning.
The rainbow colouring of Canarywood tends to become darker and more homogenous with age and has a distinct scent when being worked.
