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).
