Environment profile: Rare in parts of its natural range (population is at risk) Tree size: Trunk diameter is 100-150 cm
Colors: the heart isReddish brown, Whitishand the sapwoodWhite in color , White to yellow.The grain isStraight, the textureMediumand the lusterMedium
Natural durability: Susceptible to insect attack, Very little natural resistance Odor: No specific smell or taste
Kiln Schedules: T8-C2 (4/4) Kiln Drying Rate: Rapid Drying Defects: Moderate surface checking, Moderate twist/warp Ease of Drying: Requires slow to moderate drying schedule. Comments: General finishing qualities are rated as good Good for food containers, backets and butcher blocks. Good shock resistanceHard and strong Blunting Effect: Moderate
Boring:
He wood is generally easy to bore but it has a tendency to char. (Percent of bored pieces with good to excellent results = 99).
Cutting Resistance: Easy to saw Gluing: Satisfactory gluing properties Mortising: Finishes well
Mortising characteristics are rated as very good. (Number of mortised pieces producing fair to excellent = 92) Moulding: Very poor (25+% of pieces will yield good to excellent ) Movement in Service: Very poor (25+% of pieces will yield good to excellent ) Nailing: Pre-boring recommended, Very Good to Excellent Planing: Planes well, to a good finish Resistance to Impregnation: Resistant sapwood Resistance to Splitting: Poor
Response to hand tools: Very difficult to work with hand tools Sanding: Poor sanding properties
Veneering qualities: Veneers easily, Veneers moderately easy Steam bending: Very good
Screwing: Responds poorly (Percent of pieces free from splitting - 58) , Screwing yields good results; Turning: Responds readily to turning operations
Painting: Satisfactory; Polishing: Very Good to Excellent; Staining: Very Good to Excellent; Varnishing: Good;
Density (dry weight) = 46-52 lbs/cu. ft. Bending strength (MOR) = medium Shrinkage, Tangential = large Hardness (side grain) = very soft Shrinkage, Radial = moderate Shrinkage, Radial = fairly large Max. crushing strength = low Hardness (side grain) = soft Bending strength (MOR) = low Banks, C.H. and J.P.
