Luoro Preto

Luoro Preto (Cordia spp.), commonly found in tropical regions of Central and South America, is a hardwood species prized for its strength and beautiful appearance.

The wood is fairly dense, reaching 800–900 kg/m³, which provides good durability and resistance to decay. It has a light to medium brown color, often with deep orange or red hues, and a fine, uniform texture. The grain is generally straight, with occasional interlocking, giving it a smooth finish. Luoro Preto is used in furniture, cabinets, and flooring, prized for its pleasant appearance and workability.
