Product sources: Various species in the genus are reported to produce the timber known commercially as Sepetir.

Environment profile: Status has not been officially assessed

Tree size: Tree height is 40-50 m

Colors: the heart isRed, Whiteand the sapwoodWhite, Wide.The grain isStraight to shallowly interlocked, the textureMediumand the lusterLow

Natural durability: Susceptible to termite attack, Very low natural resistance to decay in ground contact in the tropical regions

Odor: Spicy odor which persists even after the wood is seasoned

Kiln Schedules: T8-B3 (4/4)

Kiln Drying Rate: Naturally dries quickly

Drying Defects: Distortion, May distort and end-split slightly during drying

Ease of Drying: Seasons with little degrade

Comments: Material loss during conversion is rather high because of the wide and unusable sapwood Oily Waste Factor

Blunting Effect: Severe dulling effect on cutting edges

Cutting Resistance: Difficult to saw

Nailing: Tends to split during nailing, Very Good to Excellent

Planing: Woodworking properties usually vary

Resistance to Impregnation: Satisfactory preservative absorption and retention

Response to hand tools: The operation requires sharp cutting edges for best results

Sanding: Fair sanding qualities

Veneering qualities: Best figure display in veneers is achieved through rotary-cutting

Steam bending: Poor to Very Poor Results
