Kwila, also known as Merbau, originates from the Pacific region, in particular from the Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea. In the eastern part of Indonesia, the wood is called &#8220;Merbau&#8221;. The genus is also found in the Philippines and Malaysia. Kwila grows on well-drained sites in the lower mountain zone.<\/p>\n<h5>Wooden picture:<\/h5>\n<p>Heartwood golden brown, later darkening to reddish brown, sapwood narrow and pale yellow. Pores coarse, scattered and hyalinized, storage cells surrounding the pores, often cross-linked as bands, growth zones practically unrecognizable. Pores contain yellowish-white, sometimes also black ingredients. Medullary rays of Kwila are rather inconspicuous, the structure of the hive is visible as fine bands. Alternating torsion present. Homogeneous. Decorative.<\/p>\n<h5>Properties:<\/h5>\n<p>Density at u=12% wood moisture is 0.83 t\/m\u00b3. The shrinkage from the fresh state to u=12% is specified as 2.5 % tangential and 1.3 % radial. Kwila shows very good stamina, comparable to that of Afzelia. The dimensional change per 1% change in wood moisture content is 0.31% in the tangential direction and 0.19% in the radial direction; both low values. However, Kwila is slow to dry and can only be worked with increased force; carbide-tipped tools are recommended. Irritation of the mucous membranes may occur during processing. The bending stiffness is high, the modulus of elasticity is 18,000 <sup>N\/mm2<\/sup>. Kwila can be kept unprotected in contact with the ground for 15 &#8211; 20 years (durability class 1-2).<\/p>\n<h5>Note \/ Recommendation:<\/h5>\n<p>As water-soluble, brown substances can escape from fresh wood, suitable surface treatment in contact with water (bath, sauna areas) and outdoors is of particular importance.<br \/>\nThe wood should therefore be wet-brushed and oiled or varnished before installation.<\/p>\n<h5>Use:<\/h5>\n<p>High-quality construction timber for outdoor use, also framing timber, parquet flooring, stairs, walkways, horticultural timber, instrument making.<\/p>\n<div>\n<table border=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr valign=\"top\">\n<td><strong>References:<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Terrace deck &amp; strip parquet, LVM insurance, M\u00fcnster<br
