Parota Finished Pieces

Here are some shots of finished pieces out of our Parota

As you can see:
-Koa-like grain & color
-Density of Mahogany
-HALF the cost of related species!
-Easy workability
-Can be stained to match darker species (i.e. Walnut)




Below are a collection of photos of sanded and/or finished Parota Slabs:

Need a Walnut Slab in a hard to find dimension?

Many clients have had much success staining
Parota slabs to match existing Walnut furniture.

Why are Parota Slabs a better choice than true Walnut?
-Less expensive
-Easier to dry
-Available in larger dimensions
-Easier to work and stain






Above are some examples of just how dark you can stain a Parota Slab

A great all around option for slab material.
