Pan-Mulato wood - DaveParkis - 05-18-2018
Anybody ever hear of it? I had some large boards that were labeled as "Boxwood", but the boards were way bigger than I was told Boxwood could be so I sent a chunk to the Forestry Service and they identified it as "Calycophyllum", more commonly known as Pan-Mulato. I've never heard of it before and have no idea what it would be good for.

They say it's also called Palo Blanco. Wonder if that translates to Pan Mulato.

Google brings up this in a search. Calycophyllum spruceanum

Dave
If you send what you have to me I can make an in-depth study of it and then let you know what it was.

Yep it's definitely Calycophyllum spruceanum for sure!
