DESCRIPTION GÉNÉRALE DU BOIS
Teinte
The sapwood is white to greyish white, it has a thickness of 15 cm. The heartwood is pink brown to red brown, it is clearly demarcated. The silver figure is large.
Index de Teinte (1 = Noir, 7 = Jaune clair)
5
Grain
The grain is slightly but systematically interlocked; special care is needed when drying because of frequent risks of distortion.
Texture
The wood is typically medium in texture.
Luster
Wood luster is reported to be rather high.
Durabilité naturelle
Moderately durable to decay. Without preservative treatment, this species can be used only under risk of occasional re-humidification. It is not suited for uses with risks of permanent or long-lasting humidification. Moderately resistant to termites attack
Index de durabilité naturelle (1 = Très élevée, 7 = Très faible)
