Yakal in the Outdoors

Kopsia flowers on  30 year aged yakal wood
Newer pieces that are about 2 to 5 years in age 
Quick Post: I was told that for outdoor use, the wood of choice would either be yakal, guijo or molave.  I have seen molave wood a lot of times before having that yellow tinge. But it would also sport knots which give it character. I have not seen either yakal or guijo before. 

Recently I was sent file pictures of how yakal would look like when used as decking material.  It is harder to find  new yakal wood nowadays so the pictures sent were of lumber from an old house that was reworked into a 7 year old deck. But a few were said to be replaced recently with newer pieces showing us how a 20 or so year old yakal wood compare to a 5 year old one.
