About Utile
Utile (Terminalia superba) is a large West African hardwood with high natural durability (Class 2) — an excellent teak substitute for external applications. Stable, strong, resistant to decay and insect attack. The interlocked grain can cause tearout on machines if not cutting with the grain. Some individuals react to Utile dust — appropriate PPE recommended.
