Working Doussie is made relatively easy by its natural composition. This species is sanded well, and accepts stains and finishes satisfactorily, due to yellow pockets in the wood. The sapwood of Doussie is pale yellow to white. The heartwood is light brown to reddish brown. Graining is straight and often interlocked, and the texture is coarse. A light luster also is evident. Doussie will darken with time from a relatively orange color to a darker color, similar to mahogany. Uses for this hard, fine exotic include many in-home applications, such as flooring, banisters and rails, construction, furniture, and decking.
