Kapur is moderately hard and heavy. Works moderately well with both hand and machine tools, but is variable in respect of dulling of cutting edges, but on the whole Kapur is slightly better than the average run of Keruing.

Keruing is moderately durable. Keruing timber is horny in cutting across the grain, and whereas straight grained material is capable of clean, slightly fibrous finish in planing and moulding, quarter-sawn, or interlocked-grained material picks up during these operations unless cutting angles are reduced to 20°. The wood stains satisfactorily, but due to the resin, varnishing and polishing require a lot of care. It takes nails and screws reasonably well, but its gluing properties are variable. https://www.3plyplywood.com
