Seasoning time is 2 to 5 months depe nding on thickness, but care is required to avoid cupping and warping. Moderately durable and immune to powder-Post beetle infestation. it is classified as easy for preservative treatntent.

Because it contains dePosits of silica. it is difficult to saw. Despite difficulties in machining, the planed surface is smooth. Resistance to splitting when nailed is poor. The logs can be peeled without trouble producing veneer of reasonablY good quality with good gluability.

Yellow Meranti

Yellow meranti comes from a number of specics of Shorea including ./'aguetiana, found on ridges in hill jungles and resinanrgra found at low elevations.

With distinct light colored saPwood, rt has light yellow-brown heartwood, often with greenish or olive tinge, which welrthcrs to a lieht-brown. Without luster, the planecl surlace has a faint stripe figure on the radial. Other characteristics are typical.

Despite taking more tinre than other nrerantis. it can be seasoned without trouble. lt is classi{led as not durable with damage caused bY termites. lt is highly susceptible to beetle attack. Opcn tank preserving is moderately diflicult.

It can be sawn without difficultY and moulcled to a good finish. Machining qualities are easy with the finish ranging from smooth fbr planing to rough for boring and slightly rough in turning. Resistance to splitting when nailed is poor. Veneers can be peeled successl'ully with good gluabilitY.

All nrerantis are useful for a variety of construction and uses including beer vats, colllns, wine casks, boat framing, truck bodies, buttcr churns, policc batons and sclme cabinelry in aclclitiotl to venecr ancl plywood.
