Sucupira wood (Bowdichia spp.) is native to South America, particularly Brazil and the Amazon region. It is a dense, durable hardwood with a rich brown color, often featuring golden or reddish undertones and fine, interlocked grain patterns. Physically, Sucupira is extremely hard and resistant to wear, decay, and insect attacks, making it ideal for heavy-use applications like flooring, decking, and structural components.
