Description:	With the heart wood color similar to black cherry Jatoba is often marketed as Brazilian cherry. It is a very dense oily lumber that is excellent for outdoor applications. Finishing can be a problem especially outside, Jatoba has so much oil nothing wants to stick to it. Jatoba is used for interior furniture but there are other species that tool better and are easier to finish. It does make superior flooring.
