Jonny's Notes
Will need sanding sealer as open grain. Interlocked grain means it is resistant to splitting. It responds well to steam bending and holds nails and screws well. A very useful wood whose durability is most marked in water. Introduced to England from the Mediterranean by the Romans, who used the tree to support grape vines.
