Pro Tips
- The vivid colours fade on prolonged UV exposure. Apply clear finish with UV protection. Avoid dark stains that cover the natural colour variation. Works well with sharp tools.
- Acclimate lumber in your workspace for 48-72 hours before milling to allow the wood to adjust to ambient temperature and humidity.
