American Basswood Wood
Categories:	Wood and Natural Products; Wood; Hardwood
Material Notes:	Hardwood. Easy to work with hand tools. Fair planing, poor shaping, poor steam bending. Data is based on small, clear, air-dried samples unless specified. Usual surface texture: Fine Dimensional changes when dried lumber is subjected to variations in humidity during service: Medium Resistance to fungal decay (Heartwood in ground contact): Non-durable (5 to 10 years) Resistance to penetration by preservatives: Permeable Common Applications: Constructional veneer, turnery, piano keys, woodware Property values marked by an asterisk (*) have been taken from an unusually old reference source.
