Nyatoh Wood
Nyatoh
Nyatoh wood, sourced from tropical regions of Southeast Asia, is appreciated for its smooth texture and rich, warm tones ranging from pinkish-red to dark brown.
It is moderately hard and easy to work with, making it a favorite for cabinetry, doors, and general furniture.
Its natural resistance to decay further enhances its suitability for indoor use in humid climates.
About Nyatoh
Density & Hardness
Nyatoh wood has a higher density, with a specific gravity of 0.65 to 0.75, giving it a solid and substantial feel. Its Janka hardness is approximately 1,200–1,400 lbf, making it harder than Rubberwood and KSK wood. This density and hardness provide excellent durability, ideal for cabinetry and interior woodwork.
Water resistance
Nyatoh wood has slightly better natural water resistance than Rubberwood and KSK wood, but it is still not ideal for prolonged exposure to moisture. Without treatment, it can develop surface blemishes or degrade in damp conditions. Our application of shellac and lacquer seals the wood, ensuring a polished finish and long-lasting protection against water damage.
Advantages
Nyatoh wood’s rich reddish hues and fine grain create elegant and visually striking tables. Its hardness and density provide exceptional durability, making it ideal for heavy-use surfaces. The natural resistance to decay adds to its longevity, ensuring a table that can withstand time and usage.
