The sapwood of the tamarind tree is pale-yellow. The heartwood is rather small, dark purplish-brown, very hard, heavy, strong, durable and insect-resistant. It bends well and takes a good polish. It is highly prized for furniture, panelling, and musical instruments. It has at times been sold as &quot;Madeira mahogany&quot;. Wide boards are rare, despite the trunk dimensions of old trees, since they tend to become hollow-centered. Tonal characteristics approach that of Indian Rosewood. Some sets will exhibit sapwood as well as spalting. They are all very solid with no punky areas. They are quite striking with a lot of figure.<\/font><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","link":"https:\/\/www.rctonewoods.com\/RCT_Store\/product-category\/back-side-exotics\/spalted-tamarind\/","name":"Spalted Tamarind","slug":"spalted-tamarind","taxonomy":"product_cat","parent":468,"meta":[],"menu_order":0,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rctonewoods.com\/RCT_Store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/556","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rctonewoods.com\/RCT_Store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rctonewoods.com\/RCT_Store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/product_cat"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rctonewoods.com\/RCT_Store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/468"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rctonewoods.com\/RCT_Store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?product_cat=556"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
