IDENTIFICATION DU BOIS

Description anatomique du bois

Wood diffuse porous. Occasionally vessels exclusively solitary (over 90%). Tangential diameter of vessel lumina 100 to 150 micras (small). Vestured pits. Vessels per mm2 10 to 20 (abundant). Simple perforation plates. Vessel-ray pits similar to intervessel pits Axial parenchyma confluent. Axial parenchyma in discontinuous tangential lines. Prismatic crystals in chambered axial parenchyma cells and/or in fibers. 3 to 4 cells per parenchyma strand. Rays non-storied. Rays commonly 2 seriate. Body ray cells procumbent with one row of upright and/or square marginal cells (Kribs-III). Non-septate fibers. Fibers with simple to minutely bordered pits.

DESCRIPTION GÉNÉRALE DU BOIS

Teinte

The sapwood is white. The heartwood is yellow, it is clearly demarcated.

Index de Teinte (1 = Noir, 7 = Jaune clair)

5

Grain

The grain is highly and systematically interlocked; special care is needed when drying because of frequent risks of distortion.

Texture

This species is usually reported to have a fine texture.

Luster

The surface of the wood is naturally low in luster.

Durabilité naturelle

Moderately durable to decay. Without preservative treatment, this species can be used only under risk of occasional re-humidification. It is not suited for uses with risks of permanent or long-lasting humidification. Sensible to termites attack. The heart

Index de durabilité naturelle (1 = Très élevée, 7 = Très faible)

OUVRABILITÉ

Sciage

Sawing of this species requires powerful equipment.

Coupe de placage de déroulage

Not suitable for veneering.

Placage tranche

Not suitable for veneering.

Effet d'émoussement

Moderate blunting effect; stellited blades for sawing and carbide tools for machining are advised.

Usinage

It needs powerful tools for processing. Possible difficulties caused by interlocked grain are reported. It is recommended to use special tools for cutting.

Rabotage

Moderately easy; tools must be cautiously sharpened.

Moulurage

Easy; no particular problems.

Perçage

Easy; no particular problems.

Mortaisage

Easy; no particular problems.

Clouage

Pre-boring is necessary.

Collage

Difficult to glue because of high density.

Ponçage

Difficult to obtain very good results because of interlocked grain.

Polissage

Can be polished without surface preparation.

Compatibilité avec outils manuels

Working with hand tools is difficult.
