General Uses Top
Suggest a correction!Common products:
- Solid sawn timber and sliced veneer for interior applications.
- Dimensioned lumber used in joinery, cabinetry and furniture making.
Industrial and craft applications:
- Interior joinery and cabinetry (e.g., kitchen cabinets, built‑in shelving, door and window casings).
- Production of light‑commercial and residential furniture (chairs, tables, case goods).
- Turnery and carving of decorative objects, small craft items and specialty turned parts.
Wood and fiber:
- Sapwood pale yellow, heartwood light brown; fine, straight grain; low shrinkage.
- Air‑dry density 0.55–0.60 g cm⁻³; Janka hardness 2.5–3.0 kN.
- Medium durability (Class 2–3 on the Australian durability scale); suitable for indoor use when protected.
- Excellent workability; machines, turns, sands and finishes well; readily accepts stain and polish.
Properties relevant to use:
- Volumetric shrinkage ≈ 3 % (radial) and ≈ 6 % (tangential), providing dimensional stability for indoor installations.
- Medium hardness combined with straight grain enables smooth machining and fine surface finishes.
- Equilibrium moisture content 12–15 % under normal interior conditions (AS 2858‑compliant).
- Fine texture (average ray width
