Resists wearing and marring Hardness = medium Compression strength (parallel to grain) = high Bending strength (MOR) = high
It compares favorably with Teak, which also has high bending strength. Some familiar species with high crushing strength parallel to grain include Hard maple, Teak, and White oak
