Product Sources
Although Jucaro is available in large quantities within its growth range, it is rare in the lumber form on the world market. For general construction uses, the wood is rather too hard to be useful. It is as dense as Lignum-vitae, but it lacks the natural self-lubrication which makes Lignum-vitae such a popular wood for making marine bearings.
