overview

Sourced and kiln-dried for stability, Cumaru is a tropical hardwood prized for its rich golden tones, deep reddish-browns, and bold natural grain. Often called Brazilian Teak, it offers many of the same high-performance benefits as Ipe—dense, durable, and naturally resistant to moisture, termites, and decay—at a more accessible price point.

At Beyond Lumber, our Cumaru is FSC-certified and kiln-dried, ensuring long-term performance and sustainability for your project. Whether you’re building decks, stairs, siding, soffits, ceilings, saunas, cladding, or outdoor showers, Cumaru delivers strength and beauty built to last.

Choose Cumaru for premium results without the premium price—backed by fast lead times and expert support from Beyond Lumber.

The best place to get Brazilian hardwood that I’ve found anywhere in California or online. The customer service is very good, the reps are attentive to you upon arrival and they are very knowledgeable. The quality of wood is superb and the pricing is cheaper than I can find anywhere else.

Absolutely the best place in socal for all of your tropical hardwood needs. Just built a small deck with 5/4 x 6 cumaru sourced from BL. Their prices can’t be beat locally. The selection is also great. They have all the major hardwood species.

Had a great experience with George the sales rep. He was very knowledgeable and honest. We ended up buying some thermally modified ayous panels for an outdoor media wall. So far so good. It looks great and hopefully will last for decades. (I sealed it with Cutek Extreme so hopefully that prolongs the lifespan). Thank you George!! Everyone has told us how much they really like the cladding used for our media wall and we appreciate your help with our project.
