Borneo Rosewood is a large deciduous tree with a straight clean cylindrical bole and a spreading crown of dark green leaves.
This species is used in Burma as a source of lacquer used for producing varnish, water-proof or preservative paint, glue, ceramic and lacquerware. Borneo Rosewood is used for furniture and inlay work, has a medium to coarse texture and a straight to interlocked grain, which can yield a striped figure. The wood finishes well and has a lustrous quality.
