Chakte Viga Turning Stock
Chakte Viga (Coulteria platyloba) grows in the tropical areas of Mexico and Central America. It has a bright orange to golden brown heartwood with a pale white to yellow sapwood. The grain is usually straight, though sometimes interlocked and it has a fine, even texture with a good natural luster.
Chakte Viga is dense and generally responds well to machining. However, the interlocking grain can cause tear-outs, but it turns, glues, and finishes well.
