Description

The blunting effect varies from quite high to very high (silica) and peeling and slicing is reported to be good. Requires power. Sometimes difficulties due to interlocked grain (tearing). Nailing is good and gluing is correct. It dries normal to slowly. The drying of backsawn is more difficult and slower with higher risks of distortion. Quartersawn well dry is recommended for end-uses in exterior.

Kosipo is moderately durable to durable to fungi and is durable to dry wood borers; sapwood demarcated (risk limited to sapwood).
