Aspidosperma quebracho-blanco

Aspidosperma quebracho-blanco, commonly known as Quebracho blanco, kebrako, or white quebracho,[3] is a South American tree species, native to Brazil, northern Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay, and Uruguay.

[1] Aspidosperma quebracho-blanco is generally found in dry deciduous forests, where it grows on clay soils.

[1] Quebracho blanco wood is uniformly yellow-ochre, without differences between hardwood and sapwood.

It is easy to work and has many uses in carpentry (carts, wheels, floors, shoes, tool handles, furniture); it is also good for chess pieces, skis, etc.

In some places it is widely used as charcoal, since it does not produce sparks or large amounts of ash, and it burns strong and slowly.
