Jatoba Engineered Hardwood Flooring
JATOBA WOOD FLOORING
ENGINEERED JATOBA WOOD FLOOR PROJECT.
Our advise is to keep the natural colors from Jatoba, use an oil and seal off with out polymer top coat. PU lacquer is also an option although the colors will be a little more pale if we compare an oil finish.
If we look at the harvest areas than we have to go to Southern America, areas South of Mexico, areas of Brazil Bolivia and Peru.
As a Jatoba wooden floor it has an amazing look but what the capabilities are of Jatoba harvest resin is even more fabulous. So it is that if the resin of this tree is kept over centuries, it becomes amber which is very rare regarding to it’s structure and options. It might than not seem to come as a surprise that the resin can be used as a glaze in pottery.
In the filed of medical heath care, the Jatoba has several contributions. As in the old days, many rituals where born around this tree, some of them are still used today. So it seems that the resin has the power to use it with flesh wounds as well diarrhea, and has anti inflammatory capabilities, even it has a positive effect on some cardiac diseases.
Due to these special gifts that are gain from the resin, Jatoba resin is available as a Tonic and called, Vinho de Jatoba.
As good the color of wood and the resin are, the bad is it’s fruit. Just consider the nick name that refer to smell and taste of this fruit, it is called stinking toe”
