Guanacaste Workability:
Guanacaste is easy to work with both by hand and machine tools, but tear out is common during planning. It finishes smoothly into a high luster.
Guanacaste Uses:Because it is so beautiful and similiar in appearance to Koa, Guanacaste is used in furniture, cabinetry, veneer, turnings and gunstocks. Its wide widths makes it ideal for 1 piece table tops.

Janka Hardness:470 (soft) (Similar in hardness to Butternut)
