A 1 in x 6 in x 8 ft board of Lyptus weighs about 17.7 lb (roughly 53 lb per cubic foot). Its Janka hardness of 1,420 lbf is harder than about 63% of the woods in our database.
Uses and working notes
Common uses: flooring, cabinetry, interior millwork, plywood, turning.
Durability: Moderately durable, though boring insects readily attack it.
Workability: Easy overall but apt to scorch; stains, finishes and glues well; moves a lot in service.
