Workability: Overall working characteristics for Acacia Robinia are combined: although the grain is usually straight, its high density and hardness can make it challenging to machine. Acacia Robinia also has a moderate blunting effect on cutting edges. Responds pretty well to both lathe turning and steam bending; glues and finishes well.
