Natural durability: Resistant to marine borers, Very durable

Odor: No specific smell or taste

Kiln Schedules: Dry at a slow speed

Kiln Drying Rate: Naturally dries quickly

Drying Defects: Moderate twist/warp, Tendency to chrck and end-split during drying

Ease of Drying: Rapidly

Comments: General finishing qualities are rated as good

Blunting Effect: Little

Gluing: Glues well

Nailing: Good nailing characteristics, Very Good to Excellent

Planing: Sharp tool edges recommended to prevent pick-up when planing material containing interlocked and egular grain

Resistance to Impregnation: Resistant sapwood

Response to hand tools: Stock containing irregular grain requires sharp cutting edges for best results

Veneering qualities: Veneers easily, Veneers moderately easy

Steam bending: Responds poorly to steam bending operations

Screwing: Screws without difficulty , Very Good to Excellent Results; Turning: Worked surfaces are relatively clean, especially if cutting edges are sharp

Painting: Poor to Very Poor; Polishing: Satisfactory; Staining: Good staining qualities;
