^ "The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species".^ "Mora | The Wood Database – Lumber Identification (Hardwoods)".The wood is available in large solid cuts and is well above average in properties such as resistance to wear, strength, and durability, making it an excellent candidate for heavy construction, industrial flooring, railroad ties, and boatbuilding. Squier, Epiphone, Gretsch, BC Rich, Eastwood and Japan-based manufacturers Yamaha, Hondo (guitar company) and Takamine are amongst them. īecause of its similar properties to more traditional tone woods like mahogany, many guitar manufacturers use nato in their construction. Mora wood species are not listed in the citeS Appendices or on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. The wood is dense and it is not particularly easy to dry or to work, although it finishes well. It has a straight to interlocked grain, with a medium to coarse texture and good natural luster. Wide pale yellow-brown sapwood is clearly demarcated from heartwood.
The heartwood is light to medium reddish brown. It has a similar appearance to mahogany, and as such it is often referred to as "eastern mahogany". Mora may vary in appearance, with reddish brown being the dominant color, but with varying shades and often with darker or lighter streaks. This should not be confused with Nyatoh (an Asian hardwood from the family Sapotaceae with a very similar look and characteristic to Honduras Mahogany, though totally unrelated). Nato wood is a collective name for wood from Mora trees (the best-known species are Mora excelsa (Mora) and Mora gonggrijpii (Morabukea).
