Macore

kurz und knapp

The West African woods Makoré and Douka, botanically belonging to the Sapotaceae family as Tieghemella heckelii and Tieghemella africana, are closely related and are largely similar in appearance, properties and use. Until the 1980s, they were key players in West African timber exports for logs, sawn timber and sliced and rotary-cut veneers. The boom was based on their availability, the enormous dimensions of the logs and the need for wet processing due to the silicon content (SiO2), which made dry processing difficult. Despite being categorised as highly endangered according to the IUCN Red List, they are not subject to any international protection regulations.

Color and texture

The heartwood of Makoré is pink to red-brown in colour and stands out clearly from the pale pink sapwood. The medium-sized pores are arranged in radial to diagonal groups, but are always blocked by tyloses in the heartwood. The rays are fine and the growth zones are indicated by darker latewood zones. The grain is often alternately twisted and produces clear gloss streaks on radial surfaces.

Charakter

Both woods are characterised by moderate porosity, a smooth structure and a mostly uniform reddish-brown colour.

Workability

Makoré and douka are medium-heavy and moderately hard woods. Machining fresh wood presents no difficulties, while carbide-tipped tools are recommended for dry wood due to the silica content. Planing produces smooth surfaces and the woods are good for slicing, peeling, screwing and gluing.

Drying process

Thanks to moderate shrinkage values, they have good staying power. Outdoor drying is slow, especially with Makoré due to the tyloses. Technical drying requires caution and even control, and pre-drying in the open air is recommended.

Natural durability

Makoré hat eine natürliche Dauerhaftigkeitsklasse von 1 nach DIN EN 350.

Areas of application

Due to their strength, durability against fungi and good stability, Makoré and Douka can be used in a wide range of exterior and interior applications. Solid wood is used for frame constructions, garden furniture, pergolas, vehicle and boat construction, furniture, stairs, parquet flooring and wall and ceiling panelling. Sliced and rotary-cut veneers are used in veneer panels and plywood for sports boat construction.

Notes

Wood dust produced during processing can cause severe irritation to the skin and mucous membranes. Suitable extraction equipment and personal protective equipment are therefore required to avoid allergic reactions.
