This is a very attractive wood from several different aspects.  The Primavera we import is plantation grown — usually to shade young coffee plants, and is harvested when it has served its purpose. So, use of Primavera is ecologically friendly. Primavera is one of the most beautiful of the light colored woods — it has the deep, inner glow of Mahogany, and is frequently highly figured.  Properly sanded and finished, it can be spectacular. Now the negative side — some people find the smell of the wood during machining is not to their liking — somewhat like Cottonwood. Once the machining is complete, though, there is no noticeable odor. In the United States, around the turn of the century, Primavera was in favor for use as a decorative millwork wood in high-quality construction. We have seen examples and cannot understand why its use has not continued — possibly supply problems.
