white quebracho (wood) (quebracho (wood), hardwood, ... Materials (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Wood from the species Aspidosperma quebracho-blanco. It is very hard, yellow in color, heavy, and well suited to bending and shock. If the drying process is not slow, the wood will crack. It is used for floors, carts, wheels, tool handles, furniture, chess pieces, and skis. In some places it is used as fuel because it burns slowly and does not produce sparks or large amounts of ash. |

Additional Notes: |
|
Dutch ..... Hout van de soort Aspidosperma quebracho-blanco. Het is zeer hard, geel van kleur, zwaar en goed bestand tegen buigen en schokken. Als het droogproces niet langzaam verloopt, zal het hout barsten. Het wordt gebruikt voor vloeren, karren, wielen, handvatten van gereedschap, meubels, schaakstukken en ski's. Het wordt soms gebruikt als brandstof, omdat het langzaam verbrandt en daarbij geen vonken of grote hoeveelheden as produceert. |
