Robinia wood, processing and application
Robinia wood is easy to work with, both by machine and by hand. Pre-drilling is recommended when using nails or screws. Due to the high tannin content, stainless steel connection material is recommended for durable work in outdoor applications. When iron comes into contact with wet Robinia wood, a blue-black discoloration occurs and when in contact with copper or brass, a light brown discoloration occurs. The wood is used in, among other things, braided mats and round Robinia posts. The quality of the Robinia wooden braiding mats is comparable to Azobé. The round posts have a landscape appearance. It is recommended not to use Robinia hardwood in combination with clamped bulkheads. Our Robinia wood is of course provided with the FSC® quality mark. Tests have shown that Robinia wood absorbs water relatively slowly and releases water relatively quickly. For facade carpentry, this means that the wood remains dry. Robinia wood has a very high resistance to insect attack.
