The Tree: Roble is a handsome canopy tree, reaching a height of 90 feet in the natural rainforest, with a trunk diameter of about 2 feet and a bole of merchantable length of 35 to 50 feet.

Status: Because of the beauty of its wood, roble is becoming increasingly rare outside of parks and reserves.

The Wood: Roble sapwood is pale rose in color, while the heartwood color ranges from golden brown to dark chestnut brown. It has medium luster and texture, and straight to closely interlocked grain. Roble slices easily for veneer, has excellent machining and turning qualities, glues, finishes, and polishes well, and responds well to hand tools. Its strength is similar to teak.

Uses: Roble is used extensively for boat building, and is excellent for fine furniture and cabinetry, fine decorative and figured veneer, flooring, and interior trim, millwork, and balusters.
