About
Lacewood Lumber:
Botanical
Name
Roopola Brasillensis
Other
Names
Louro Faia
Mechanical
Properties
Medium strength in most categories. Low stiffness makes
it an excellent steam bending wood.
Working
Properties
Works well with hand and machine tools, but there
is moderate blunting effect on cutters and a tendency
to bind in saws. Glues well, stains and polishes, with
care, to an excellent finish.
Durability
Perishable. The sapwood is liable to attack by common
furniture beetle, but is permeable for preservative
treatment.
Seasoning
Dries rapidly without much splitting but has a tendency
to distort. There is small movement in service.
Uses
Furniture, cabinetmaking, joinery, light construction,
panelling, ornamental inlay, decorative uses. Excellent
for turning fancy goods.
Comments
European lacewood is known as "plane" and
is related to the American sycamore (platanus occidentalis).
