It is easily cut, turned, carved, shaped, glued, sanded and finished, all with ordinary wood working tools and techniques. It can be shaped with abrasive wheels either wet or dry. It can be cut into extremely thin veneers. Almost any kind of coating will adhere to it. Meets specifications MIL-B-2747 and MIL-S-7998. |
