This wood is prized for sash and door work, and indeed all 
kinds of light joinery. It is a hard, richly-coloured furniture wood, 
and the warty protuberances on the trunk of the tree afford a most 
beautiful figure, as do slabs, which may be procured 6ft. long, in 
almost any quantity. It is used for the cogs of wheels by mill- 
wrights. Average specific gravity, .883. (Mueller.) Height, over 
10ooft. Exceptional diameter nearly 8ft., with a height of 2ooft.
