OUVRABILITÉ

Sciage

Sawing of this species is reported to be rather easy, but tension wood may affect this process.

Coupe de placage de déroulage

This species can be peeled and sliced.

Placage tranche

This species can be peeled and sliced.

Effet d'émoussement

The wood exerts slight to moderate blunting effect on cutting tools.

Usinage

Guanacaste is reported to be respond well to most machining tools to yield smooth surfaces in most woodworking operations, but surfaces may be woolly because of tension wood.

Rabotage

Planing is reported to be generally easy, but fluffy wood is common because of tension.

Clouage

The material is reported to nail easily, with good nail holding characteristics.

Polissage

Polishing characteristics are reported to be generally good.
