VIROLA
(VIROLA SURINAMENSIS)
ALSO KNOWN AS:
BANAK
CUMALA
CAOBILLA
SANGRE
PALO DE SANGRE
UCUUBA
Uses: Interior trim, Furniture, Moldings, Concealed Parts
(furniture), Concrete formwork, Dowels, Drawer sides,
Framing, Kitchen Cabinets, Blind slats, General
Millwork.
The heartwood of this tropical hardwood ranges in color
from a pinkish white to golden brown. The grain is usually
straight and the wood is well known for its excellent
nailing, gluing, and sanding properties. The wood carves
easily and takes a stain very well. Virola is mainly
produced in northern Brazil but is also readily available
from Peru.
First quality Virola is well known and accepted in the U.S.
and Canadian molding and framework markets. Second
quality Virola is widely used as concrete formwork
construction material. Robinson Lumber Company has
extensive experience in supplying Kiln Dried and Air
Dried Virola to markets all over the world.

I'd be careful about inhaling the dust!!!!!
EFFECTS OF VIROLA SNUFF are felt within minutes from the time of initial
use. First there is a feeling of increasing excitability. This is followed
by a numbness of the limbs, a twitching of the face, a lack of muscular
coordination, nasal discharges, nausea, and, frequently, vomiting.
Macropsia - the sensation of seeing things greatly enlarged - is
characteristic and enters into Waik beliefs about hekulas, the spirit
forces dwelling in the Virola tree and controlling the affairs of man.
During the intoxication, medicine men often wildly gesticulate, fighting
these gigantic hekulas.
CAUSE OF THE NARCOTIC EFFECT of Virola has been shown by recent
studies to be an exceptionally high concentration of tryptamine alkaloids
in the resin. Waik snuff prepared exclusively from the resin of Virola
theiodora has up to 8 percent of tryptamines, mainly the highly active
5-methoxy-N, N-dimethyltryptamine Two new alkaloids of a different
type,B-carbolines have also been found in the resin; they act as monoamine
oxidase inhibitors and make it possible for the tryptamines to take effect
when the resin is taken orally.

I have data convincingly disconfirming the Duhem-Quine hypothesis.

Check the glue lines, see if they are dark.
Would bet it's exterior. Buy a piece and put a chunk in the
dishwasher.
If it delaminates, you have some nice ply to make bookshelves out of!

A new type of plywood has shown up at the
local Home Depot Marine Supply store;
"Golden Virolla" No markings on it and
the guy in the store doesn't know anything
about it. Obviously imported.
Nice looking stuff; real thin faces like
luan. 1/2" has 7 plys, 3/4" has about 9 plies.
few voids evident on the edges.
Anyone know anything about this stuff, like
if it is even "exterior??" The store don't
know!!
