Description
The heartwood is light to medium brown in color, with the sapwood being a paler creamy color. The grain is interlocked, and it also has a fine texture. Quarter sawn boards typically exhibit a fleck or scale pattern. It generally works quite easily, however due to its interlocking grain, sharp cutter edges are required when machining. Although it has poor steam bending properties, it glues up well and takes a good finish.
