    Curupau is a tree species found in forests ranging from humid subtropical to dry temperate climates. It can reach heights of up to 27 meters with a straight trunk. The heartwood is pink brown to pink red in color while the sapwood is pale purple. Curupau has medium to fine texture, density of 1030 kg/m3, total radial shrinkage of 4.2%, total tangential shrinkage of 8.4%, and total volumetric shrinkage of 12.7%. It has high mechanical properties including a static bending strength of 1672 kg/cm2 and lateral hardness of 19500 N. Curupau is moderately difficult to air dry and machine but very durable with low permeability
