The golden yellow to orange coloured wood has a very fine-pored wood structure with shimmering hues. It is very hard, robust and resistant to moisture, fungi and insect attacks. In spite of its high density, it is very elastic and can easily be bent. Due to its fine-pored structure and its low shrinkage, it is ideal for woodturning, knife handles and for small decorative items. Density 850 kg/m³
