RV151-DYED AYOUS GRAY CROWN

The wood can be easily worked with all tools. The knife edges are not damaged by mineral deposits. But, Drying must be controlled very carefully and evenly, as the wood tends to warp and crack easily.

It is used in the craft of carvers and sculptors. It is also very important as veneer and solid wood and in the construction of musical instruments (e.g. wind, plucked, and string instruments). In the veneer sector, Ebony is only used in the high-quality project, ship, and aircraft interior fittings due to its extravagant beauty and high price. Since each trunk has a different pattern, the products made with them are extremely individual and unique.

Greater importance as rotary birch for the furniture and panel industry (popular wood for bedrooms in the 1950s); and table and chair production. Very popular firewood. In larger dimensions (rarely) also produced as knife birch. The majority of the knife-cut birch is "yellow birch" from the USA.
