This species has a creamy white heartwood and sapwood, with a course interlocked grain. It is a soft timber that requires rapid evacuation to avoid stain etc. Due to this timbers nature, sharp tools are required to cut this timber to avoid a 'woolly' appearance.

This timber is always in stock in limited amounts and is available in a variety of rough sawn cuts.
