Heartwood Color Yellow Brown Black Golden yellow Darkens slightly upon exposure Sapwood Color White Whitish Grain Interlocked Moderately to severely interlocked Texture Coarse Coarse Luster Medium Medium Natural Durability Fairly durable under cover Odor No specific smell or taste Drying Defects Checking Distortion May warp May check Ease of Drying Slowly Reconditioning Treatement Dries slowly, but well Tree Size Tree height is 20-30 m Trunk diameter is 100-150 cm They produce boles that are often straight and cylindrical Blunting Effect High to severe May contain deposits of abrasive material which tend to dull cutters and affect some machining properties Boring Fairly difficult to very difficult Difficult Carving Fairly Difficult to Very Difficult Fairly difficult to carve Planing Fairly Easy to Very Easy Planes fairly well but cutters may require frequent sharpening Resistance to Impregnation Resistant sapwood Resistant heartwood Resistant to preservative treatment Strength Properties Resists wearing and marring Hardness = medium Compression strength (parallel to grain) = high Bending strength (MOR) = high It compares favorably with Teak, which also has high bending strength. Some familiar species with high crushing strength parallel to grain include Hard maple, Teak, and White oak Numerical Data Item Green Dry English Bending Strength 8196 12113 psi Crushing Strength 1219 1575 psi Hardness 1227 lbs Maximum Crushing Strength 4263 6440 psi Shearing Strength 1589 psi Static Bending 5840 8252 psi Stiffness 960 1253 1000 psi Specific Gravity 0.47 0.46 Item Green Dry Metric Bending Strength 576 851 kg/cm2 Crushing Strength 85 110 kg/cm2 Hardness 556 kg Maximum Crushing Strength 299 452 kg/cm2 Shearing Strength 111 kg/cm2 Static Bending 410 580 kg/cm2 Stiffness 67 88 1000 kg/cm2 References Chudnoff, M.,1984,Tropical Timbers of the World,U.S.A.
