SPECIES RESUMÉ
The wood is light brown to golden brown, sometimes with ribbon like aspect on quartersawn. It has an ammoniac odour when green or with rewetted wood. It has clearly demarcated sapwood. The grain is interlocked and the texture is coarse.
The blunting effect is normal, peeling is reported to be good and slicing is not recommended or without interest. Very irritant sawdust. Quartersawn is recommended in order to reduce the risks of distortion. Nailing is good and gluing is correct. Risks of end checks. Dabema dries normal to slowly. To reduce distortions, surface drying is recommended prior to kiln drying.
