Tali / Elondo

Denominación.

• Scientific name: Erythopleum utile Sprague.
E. Suaveolensis Brenan
• Spanish: Elondo, Tali, Bolondo

Provenance

Description of the wood

• Sapwood: Yellowish white to pink white.
• Heartwood: Yellowish brown to reddish brown.
• Fiber: Straight, often intertwined or highly intertwined.
• Grain: Coarse.

Impregnation

• Sapwood: Moderately impregnable
• Heartwood: Little impregnable

Mechanization

• Sawing: No more problems than its hardness.
• Drying: Very slow. High risks of deformations and less of fendas.
• Planning: Difficult due to its hardness and the high risk of repelling and chipping. [Mecanización] should be carried out very slowly.
• Gluing: Tannins hinder good adhesion.
• Nailing and screwing: For its hardness. It is convenient to enhance predrillings.
• Finishing: Rubber tanks can locally inhibit the adhesion of varnishes.

Applications

• Outdoor furniture
• Interior carpentry, doors, stairs, cladding, mouldings, skirting boards, friezes, parquet.
