Trength properties are lower than those of European beech (Fagus sylvatica ), especially in hardness and shock resistance. It is moderately hard and resistant to wearing and marring. It is heavy, and high in density. The bark of the tree is reported to yield tanning, and the grain is similar to that of Guarea spp.
