| MECHANICAL PROPERTIES |
Denser and tougher than Brazilian Rosewood, but is mainly used where strength properties are not important. This wood is too heavy for bending. |
| WORKING PROPERTIES |
Difficult to work. Moderate blunting effect on cutters. Reduced cutting angle recommended for planing when interlocked or wavy grain is present. Pre-drilling required for nailing. May cause gluing or finishing problems in very oily specimens. Does not take a naturally high polish, but a good finish can be obtained with care. |
| DURABILITY |
Very durable. Moderately resistant to termites in Belize. |
| SEASONING |
Dries slowly with a tendency to split. Can be carefully kiln dried with little degradation. Small movement. |
| USES |
Fingerboards for banjos, guitars and mandolins, percussion bars for xylophones, harp bodies, moldings, picture frames, and decorative veneer. |
| COMMENTS |
Widely used for turning. |
