Hardness (side grain) = very soft
Dents or scratches easily
Compression strength (parallel to grain) = low
The species has medium bending strength in the air-dry condition (about 12 percent moisture content). It is closer in strength to Mahogany than either Teak or White oak, which have higher bending strength. It is weak in compression parallel to grain (maximum crushing strength), and is inferior to Mahogany
