    Default does balau bleed?

    I,m currently building a deck around a spa, the customer likes the colour and price of kwila or balau ( I normally use iron bark ) I,ve told her that kwila will bleed too much for this application. Does anybody know if balau will bleed like kwila does I've not had any experience with it.

    Hi
    There is a product on the market that stops kwila from bleeding.

    Ive searched google, but came up with nothing.

    i understand it that Batu leaches less than Merbau / kwila.
    some leaching will still occur just not as much.

    Thanks for the replies. I talked her into using jarrah, looks great and matches her colour scheme. Another win for the forests of borneo
