Very hard, weather proof, Rot and termite resistant. Very difficult to work, not only because it's so hard, but the burls, such as this one, tend to have a lot of occlusions. The good thing about using it in it's stabilized form is that when you have to fill the gaps/cracks with Super Glue, it doesn't cotrast from the rest of the stabilized resin. Here's a good link to it.

Hmm. I han't noticed. Actually it's a mixture of dark brown,black and some reddish brown. It sort of has an overall Mahogany kind of color. Maybe I should try a lighter exposure in the morning.

P.S. This one shows the color a bit better.
