Product Sources
The species has very little commercial value in the US. Quantities are limited on the US market, except for very small projects such as undertaken by craftsmen. Price is almost in the same range as Black walnut since the whitish wood is being exported to the Orient, especially Japan, for furniture and other special uses, including sandals.
