Common uses: Bedroom suites, Boat building, Building materials, Cabinetmaking, Canoes, Chairs, Chests, Concealed parts (Furniture), Core Stock, Decks, Decorative plywood, Decorative veneer, Desks, Dining-room furniture, Domestic flooring, Dowell pins, Dowells, Drawer sides, Factory flooring, Figured veneer, Fine furniture, Floor lamps, Flooring, Furniture , Furniture components, Furniture squares or stock, General carpentry, Hatracks, Interior construction, Interior trim, Kitchen cabinets, Lifeboats, Living-room suites, Millwork, Office furniture, Parquet flooring, Plain veneer, Planks, Plywood, Radio - stereo - TV cabinets, Veneer

Product sources: All trees in the genus are reported to yield timber of good quality for carpentry and general construction.The ITTO reports that timber produced by species in the genus is produced in abundance and is exported regularly.

Environment profile: Status has not been officially assessed

Tree size: Tree height is 30-40 m Tree dimensions are reported to vary with species. The trees develop straight boles of good form, and some of them are buttressed

Colors: the heart isPurple, Redand the sapwoodWhitish, Yellow.The grain isStraight to roey, the textureMedium coarse to coarseand the luster The wood has a satiny or silky luster

Natural durability: Susceptible to insect attack, Susceptible to termite attack

Odor: Wood has a spicy odor

Drying Defects: Slight tendency to check and warp

Ease of Drying: Variable

Comments: Timber produced by species in the genus are suitable for many of the the same applications as Yellow poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera ) and Birch (Betula)

Carving: Very good results

Cutting Resistance: Low cutting resistance

Gluing: Good gluing properties

Mortising: Fairly Easy to Very Easy

Moulding: Fairly Easy to Very Easy

Movement in Service: Fairly Easy to Very Easy

Nailing: Fairly Difficult to Very Difficult, Poor to Very Poor

Planing: Yields smooth surfaces

Resistance to Impregnation: Heartwood is extremely resistant The heartwood is comparable to teak in its water-absorption properties. It is difficult to treat, and is rated as highly resistant.

Compression strength (parallel to grain) = high
The species has high bending strength in the air-dry condition (about 12 percent moisture content). It compares favorably with Teak, which also has high bending strength. Teak, White oak, and Hard maple have high crushing strength. Surfaces may dent or scratch easily since the wood is soft. The weight is medium. The wood has high density
