The timber is known for its hardness and has been rated as very durable and is resistant to rot, termites and other insects. Though it can be prone to marine borers attack. The wood has a light orangish brown heartwood and light yellow sapwood. The timber is salmon red to orange-brown and has dark brown streaks on it. The wood color gets darker with age and exposure to the sun. Grain is interlocked and texture is medium to coarse. Because it is very hard, this wood specie is considered difficult to work with, cut and plane. However, it glues, stains and finishes well and is also easy to turn.
