Mechanization
Physical properties
• Timber: No problem.
• Drying: Very slow, will be carried out prudently for risk of deformation and cracks.
• Planing: difficult due to interlocked grain.
• Bonding: No problems.
• Nailing and screwing: You must first drill through the wood.
• Finish: No problem, previously applying a cover pores.
