The texture is typically fine to medium.

Additional Information
Accoya wood works very well with almost all tooling. Some care is needed when gluing, but can be glued well when following the manufacturers guidelines. Due to the acidic nature of the treatment process, any metal in contact with Accoya^® wood (including fasteners) needs to be stainless stain or marine grade brass.
