Indice de Color (1= Negro, violeta; 7= Amarillo claro, blanco)
3
Grano
The grain is typically interlocked.
Veta
The wood is coarse in texture.
Durabilidad Natural
It has a good resistance to attack by decay fungi and dry-wood termites.
Indice de Durabilidad Natural (1=Muy alta, 7=Muy baja)

TRABAJABILIDAD
Aserrado
Sawing of this species is reported to be rather easy, but tension wood may affect this process.
Corte de chapa rotativa
This species can be peeled and sliced.
Chapa tranchada
This species can be peeled and sliced.
Pérdida de filo_romado
The wood exerts slight to moderate blunting effect on cutting tools.
Maquinado general
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.
Cepillado
Planing is reported to be generally easy, but fluffy wood is common because of tension.
Clavado
The material is reported to nail easily, with good nail holding characteristics.
Sacar lustre
Polishing characteristics are reported to be generally good.
