Sawn timber
Angelim Vermelho
Freshly cut, the heartwood of Angelim Vermelho is yellow-brown in colour, usually with streaks and often an orangey tint, darkening to a red-brown. The sapwood is pink and cannot always be differentiated clearly from the heartwood. When fresh and dry, Angelim Vermelho has a strikingly rancid (butyric) smell which disappears only after a long while.
