Daniellia ogea
- Promoted species
- Promoted species
Faro is a pale pinkish-brown, relatively light hardwood that dries quickly and works easily. It is used for interior joinery, furniture parts, plywood and packaging. The tree yields an aromatic gum resin, and resin traces in the wood can affect finishing. Durability is low, so exterior use requires treatment.
