Why Choose Chakte Kok?
The wood and bark will produce a red dye. This wood is so unique it is difficult to make a comparison. The vivid red color will oxidize to a tan or brown color when exposed to light; with an oil or lacquer finish, the color darkens. Though moderately soft with a low density, the wood contains a lot of tension and is prone to twisting.
