Basralocus
[Bas-ra-lo-cus]; [Dicorynia guianensis];
Trade names: Angélica do Pará(BR), singapetou (SR), names such as Guyana “teak” (GB, GY) are incorrect
Basralocus or Angélique, known for its exceptional resistance to marine organisms, occupies a special position among wood species. Originally used for hydraulic engineering applications, it is now also offered as reservoir timber, mainly from the Brokopondo reservoir in Suriname. The tree trunks preserved in water enable easier and faster drying compared to freshly felled wood. With superior strength properties, Basralocus is suitable for exterior and interior construction, boat building and chemical tank construction. Due to the time-consuming harvesting process, wood from the reservoir is more expensive, but ideal for high-quality products such as decking boards.
Basralocus is often referred to as Guyana teak. Read our encyclopedia entry on Guyana teak.
