Use caution
Avoid specifying it by name alone; confirm board size, moisture, colour, figure, and the project environment before buying.

Test finishes on offcuts first, especially when colour, blotching, outdoor exposure, or grain filling matters.
Buying note
Choose boards, slabs, plywood, blanks, or posts based on the project rather than species name alone.
