Red Grandis Eucalyptus Board 1x12 S4S by Ipe Depot

Eucalyptus grandis, also known as Rose Gum or Flooded Gum, hails from Eastern Australia. It dries to 40 lbs/ft3 (640 kg/m3) and has a basic specific gravity of .48, rising to .64 at 12% moisture content. With a Janka hardness of 1,260 lbf (5,600 N), it's robust yet workable, boasting a modulus of rupture at 15,640 lbf/in2 (107.8 MPa) and an elastic modulus of 2,052,000 lbf/in2 (14.15 GPa). It shrinks radially by 5.9%, tangentially by 10.1%, and volumetrically by 15.5%, with a T/R ratio of 1.7. Red grandis wood is pink to reddish brown, with paler sapwood and a straight, shallowly interlocked grain. Durable but insect-prone, it's easy to work with and accepts glues and finishes well. It's non-toxic, sustainably sourced, and commonly used in flooring, millwork, furniture, and boatbuilding.
