This particular wood is light and durable with a very straight grain. It does not warp or split. It is fire resistant and is an excellent insulator of heat and cold. Its wood has been used to build boats, guitars and surfboards. An interesting footnote is that after ten years, you can cut the tree near its base and watch the stump grow into a new tree.
