Janka Hardness :

Average Dried Weight :

Workability :
Easy to work within almost all regards, but a high level of silica (up to 1.4%) has a significant blunting effect on cutting tools. It is good with glues and finishes well, though may require wiping the surface with a solvent to reduce the natural oils on the surface.
