Barauna is an excellent specie at and
around the water level. Since the ancient Jesuit’ churches, barauna is used
in Bolivia as construction supports under these churches. After a couple of
hundred years, the barauna posts are still in excellent condition and none of
these ancients churches needs to be even renovated. ROQUE VALENTE’ experience is that
most clients seem to sell it as an alternative for wider known (African)
Azobé. However, Azobé might be better known, its availability compared to Barauna
is the difference. If you need some vast quantities with a reliable lead time
of delivery, then you definitely better opt for ROQUE VALENTE’s Barauna. The
same is true for Brazilian competitor Angelim Vermelho nowadays. Furthermore,
Barauna is also cheaper Comparison
