Notes: L A pale yellow-coloured, moderately close-textured firm wood, with rather prominent rays when quarter-cut. It works cleanly with hand or machine tools and is suitable for furniture, turnery, tool handles, mouldings, panelling brush stocks, and sliced ven, eer. The dust, while working the timber is irritating to the mucous membranes. It is liable to warp and develop sapstain or bluing during seasoning, also seasoning strip discolouration. Sapwood which is not distinct from true wood is not attacked by the P, owder Post Borer. The trunk is irregularly buttressed and fluted, and is, therefore wasteful in conversion. It is a fairly large tree, but not plentiful, occurring in the brush forests from Illawarra, NSW to Nortern Queensland. H = Hard. W = 36-50 lbs. p, er cub. ft.
