Machining - Planes, cuts and sands easily, although the grain pattern can be quite strong at times and want to tearout if you are not watching the direction when routing. Grain pattern is visible and easy to stain or clear coat, but sand to 200 grit if using a dark stain or the scratch lines will show.
Uses - Pattern making, carving, drawing boards, high-class joinery, and general carpentry work. Also for furniture making, musical instruments, ship and boat building, light and medium construction and domestic woodware.
