PNG has a multiplicity of Calophyllum species including Calophyllum papuanum, Calophyllum pauciflorum, Calophyllum peekelii, Calophyllum pseudowitien and Calophyllum soui. This wood has pink brown to pale reddish brown heartwood with good arching properties and easy to work on. Much of PNG Calophyllum is found in Manus, northern PNG and near the Equator. The species constitutes over *0% of Manus forest cover.
For plantation species, Kamarere remains the main export species, destined primarily for Japan, Vietnam and Korea. Terminalia sp. and teak are the other export plantation species.
Calophyllum is a useful, general-purpose timber. Due to its wide range in density, its mechanical properties can be variable. It is suitable for range of end uses including; furniture and cabinet work, interior joinery, mouldings, architraves and doorjambs, flooring and panelling.
The timbers range in colour from a pale pinkish-brown to pale red-brown to pale red. Quarter-sawn boards produce a pronounced ribbon figure, whilst back sawn material is nicely figured with a fine zigzag pattern.
The timbers can be dried satisfactorily. Quarter-sawn material
dries well with little degrade. Back-sawn material has a tendency
to cup and twist especially in wide boards.
Calophyllum is popular for a variety of end uses including furniture manufacture and cabinet work as well as for veneer and plywood manufacture.
