The objective of this research was to study the characteristics of four tropical species (Jacaranda copaia, Astronium lecointei, Caryocar villosum, and Protium altissimum) stored in different periods. Part 1 of this study described the anatomical features of these species, and Part 2 focused on the physical properties, more specifically density, water-soluble extractives, and color changes along the different times of exposure. Samples were collected from logs exposed for different exposure times (0, 1, 4, 6, and 8 yr of exposure). Changes in the basic density were observed for all four species studied; in Caryocar villosum and Jacaranda copaia, the changes were highly related to the period of exposure. For extractives content, both in hot and cold water, alternated according to the storage time, being directly proportional in Jacaranda copaia. The color of the wood of all species tended to darken with the time of exposure in storage yards, with the species Astronium lecointei being the one that showed the greatest variation in color over time.
