Two more examples of Amendoim flooring. Note the faint rows in the ribbon grain that are visible in the example on the right.

This picture shows an installed Amendoim floor. This floor will darken slightly over time.
Note that there is little variation in color between boards.

Color change occurs when the flooring is exposed to light and oxygen. In this picture you can see the amount of change that can be expected in this species. It appears most of the yellowish tones disappear to leave an overall pinkish brown floor. This color change can take from a few weeks to several months. These samples were placed in direct sunlight for a total of 28 hours with the unchanged portion covered with thick cardboard. Also note the amount of variation from the lightest to the darkest board, left to right.
