Apuleia leiocarpa
Garapa (Apuleia leiocarpa) is a medium-hardness wood balancing workability and wear resistance, with a Janka hardness of 722 lbf (3211 N) and a density of about 0.72 g/cm³. It originates from south america.
With radial shrinkage of 4.6% and tangential shrinkage of 8.2% (a T/R ratio of 1.78), it is reasonably stable with normal seasonal movement. Its fiber saturation point is around 27%, below which the wood begins to shrink and move as it dries.
