Excerpt from The Cuba Review, Vol. 18: December, 1919
Among these hardwoods is included the acana. This is a tree growing prac tically throughout the Island, attaining a large size, often over three feet in diameter, with a rough gray to black bark, thin white sap and a sound solid center of dark red wood, which retains its color well upon seasoning. The wood is very fine and heavy, is fine grained and easy. To work with practically all carpenter's tools. It is considered a favorite among the Northern carpenters in their cabinet work, but is used only to a relatively small extent by the native workmen.
