The Kapur Hardwood is reddish brown and clearly demarcated from the pale sapwood. The wood is fairly coarse textured but uniform. Kapur Hardwood is straighter grained and not quite as coarse in texture. The Kapur Hardwood is rated resistant to attack by decay fungi; it is reported to be vulnerable to termites. Kapur Hardwood is extremely resistant to preservative treatment. The wood works with moderate ease in most hand and machine operations, but blunting of cutters may be severe because of silica content particularly when the dry wood is machined. It takes nails and screws satisfactorily.
