Instead, the heartwood has some characteristics similar to the walnut but with light different nuances, that change from brown-yellow to brown-olive, depending from the provenience. It is a decorative wood thanks to the good effect produced by its dark streaks. When seasoned it becomes steady, hard and heavy so it become easily workable. |
