Properties

The heartwood is reddish-grey to light yellowish-brown, often with dark discoloration which is a great disadvantage in use. The heartwood is considerably resistant to fungi, insects and the weather, but is sensitive to blue stain.

Machining

There is no great problem in machining this wood but tools become quickly dull due to silicate deposits.

Seasoning
There is no great difficulty in drying cut lumber. The wood should be dried as soon as possible after cutting to prevent blue stain.

Finishing

Surface treatment by all the usual methods is possible but white patches can appear on the surface as a result of calcium deposits.

Jointing

Gluing presents no problems. Nail and screw joints should be pre-drilled to prevent splitting.
