(e) Hardness: Timber must be sufficiently hard to be able to resist the  penetrationo of any other body into it.

conversion and seasoning process. It must not wrap or bow during the conversion process.

(k) Toughness: In order to resist shocks and vibrations, timber must be sufficiently tough.


(l) Permeability: It is always desirable that timber should not be too permeable to water as water retention in timber has adverse effects on its strength.


(m) Weight: A heavy weight (i.e. dense) timber is considered to be tougher than light weight timber.


(n) Workability: Timber must be workable so that it may not clog the saw teeth and should be capable of being made. smooth
