However, the wood is relatively coarse, so the wood grain may become fuzzy even when finished carefully with sandpaper. The hardness is sufficient and moderate, but there is no flexibility, so when using it for chair legs, etc., be careful with the dimensions and add reinforcing materials such as through-tenons. The difference in color and wood quality is very large between good quality wood and ordinary wood, and generally, the darker orange-colored wood is harder and of better quality. Sendan is called pseudo-keyaki (Japanese Zelkova), but it is common for the best quality wood to be as hard as keyaki. 【Other Notes】 ・The price includes shipping and a 10% Mercari fee. ・Some information is not included due to the character limit of the [Product Description].
