&;8226; Sapwood: medium capacity of being impregnated.
&;8226; Heartwood: low capacity of being impregnated.

&;8226; Sawing process: difficult due to its hardness and its silica content, high power saws are required.
&;8226; Drying process: very slow. Little risk of cimentation. High risk of crack formation and lower risk of deformations.
&;8226; Planing process: difficult due to its hardness, risk of generalized risk of repelling due to its intertwined fibers pieces. Slow mechanisation is highly recommended.
&;8226; Gluing process: difficulties can arise due to its tannin contents.
&;8226; Nailing and screwing process: difficulties due to its hardness. Pre-drilling is required.
&;8226; Finish: a thorough sanding is required due to the risk of repelling.
