Yes, a Brazilwood is used for pillar- and post-making in Melaque, Jalisco, Mexico.

Specifically, Brazilwood belongs to the genus Caesalpinia. Various species can be used for timber. Caesalpinia platyloba is called Chakte viga in southern Mexico, and it is one of the Brazilwood species that is used in buildings and on grounds because of its strong resistance to termite damage.

Its common names are brasiletto and brasiletta. The proper botanical name is Haematoxylon brasiletto. There is much confusion in Mexico (and on the internet!) with the names Brasilwood, Brazilwood, Brasil Wood and Brazil Wood.
