Tulpay

The wood is semi-heavy and of good quality. Its mechanical resistance is medium to high.

Due to the high level of silica, the wood is somewhat difficult to saw and doing so as soon as possible after felling is recommended, using carbide tools with stellite teeth.

The wood’s workability is good and it is suitable for drilling, turning, molding, gluing, and nailing. The natural drying process is moderately slow and the risk of warping is low.

The wood behaves well under artificial drying. It needs no preservation and resists biological attack from termites, dry wood insects, and the xylophagous fungi.
