The sapwood is pale and clearly demarcated from the heartwood. It has an interlocked or straight grain with a medium to coarse texture and a natural luster. Ebiara is moderately heavy, typically weighing around 3.5 pounds (1.59 kilograms) per board foot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"text-align: start; color: #000000; background-color: rgb(247, 247, 248); font-size: 16px; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227);\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #000000; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227);\"\u003eWorkability\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"text-align: start; color: #000000; background-color: rgb(247, 247, 248); font-size: 16px; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227);\"\u003eEbiara is moderately workable and valued by woodworkers for its aesthetic appeal. It can be cut, shaped, and sanded with relative ease, though interlocked grain may cause tearout during planing, particularly on quartersawn surfaces. The wood glues and finishes well, making it suitable for polished or natural finishes. Its moderate hardness requires sharp tools for best results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"text-align: start; color: #000000; background-color: rgb(247, 247, 248); font-size: 16px; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227);\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #000000;
