Marishballi
Marishballi (Licania sparsipilis)

Family: Chrysobalanaceae

Common names: Abure, Anaura, Bois gris, Cana dulce, Caraipe, Carbonero, Kairiballi, Kauta, Kwepie, Marishballi, Merecure de montana, Monkey apple, Pintadinho, Sapote

Distributed in: Belize, Brazil, Columbia, Guyana, Honduras, Panama, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, Venezuela (Central America, Latin America)

Distribution overview: The species occurs in gallery forests and forests on terra firma from Mexico (Oaxaca) to Panama (Colon).

Common uses: Barge fenders, Building construction, Building materials, Cabin construction, Charcoal, Construction, Crossties, Docks, Dockwork, Factory construction, Fuelwood, Harbor work, Heavy construction, Marine construction, Mine timbers, Naval architecture, Raft floats, Rafts, Railroad ties, Wharf construction

Environment profile: The future survival of this species is at risk

Tree size: The trunk diameters are commonly 16 to 24 inches (40 to 60 cm), sometimes reaching 36 inches (90 cm). It develops straight, cylindrical boles that may be clear of branches 50 to 60 feet (15 to 18 m)

Colors: the heart isBrown, Yellowand the sapwoodDimpled on tangential surfaces. , Yellow.The grain isStraight, the textureStright and closed and the lusterLow

Natural durability: Resistance to marine borer attack is high Durability is variable and is species specific, but it is generally low to moderately low

Odor: No specific smell or taste

Silica Content: The woods of Licania usually contain high levels of silica

Drying Defects: Slight surface checking, Slight twist/warp

Ease of Drying: Reconditioning Treatement

Blunting Effect: Blunting effect on cutters is usually very severe because of high density and high silica content. Tungsten-tipped cutters are recommended in most machining operations

Boring: Fair to good results

Carving: Very Good to Excellent Results

Cutting Resistance: High levels of silica and high densities combine to make the wood very difficult to process

Mortising: Fair to Good

Moulding: Fair to Good

Movement in Service: Fair to Good

Planing: Fair to Good Planing, boring, moulding, turning, mortising, and other machining properties of Licania timbers are generally poor. Ordinary tools are dulled rapidly and severely because the dense timber also usually contains silica. Tungsten-tipped cutters are required in most machining operations

Resistance to Impregnation: Softwood can be easily treated

Response to hand tools: Responds Readily

Routing recessing: Fair to Good Results
