Workability:

Machining of Tauari branco can be done well, although there is a blunting effect due to the Silica content. Therefore, the use of hard metal tools is advised. The machined product can get very smooth. Tauari branco could be dried rather easily, with only a few defects.

Physical properties:

While providing the popular “wheat” color associated with domestic oak, Tauari is harder, more stable, and highly resistant to decay and rot. It takes stain colors beautifully and many consider Brazilian Oak-Tauari to be a superior alternative to domestic Oak.
