The heartwood of Cebil is a pale to medium reddish brown. The color darkens with age. The sapwood is a pale yellow to pinkish brown color. The grain is irregular and/or interlocked. Cebil has a fine uniform texture and gives off a natural lustre. The end grain is diffuse-porous. The wood is very durable in regards to decay.
