A. Pacific Kwila is almost double the hardness (1925 vs. 690 on the Janka Scale) of Yellow Pine. Pacific Kwila is naturally insect/termite resistant, is not prone to splinter and check(split) as it ages, and is highly resistant to decay when fully exposed to weather if clear of ground and has good air circulation.
