The use of wood for wood only common tools, usually for a crate or a wooden match. But the most important outcome of this tree is Copal. Copal can be distinguished by: 1. Copal when burned provide a large fire, but the resin does not melt. 2. Copal almost do not have the room containing the air but in a lot of resin. 3. Copal is not easily crushed by hand, but not amber. 4. Copal completely soluble in pure alcohol, not resin.
Now the wood has become an important industrial wood, because wood into pulp and paper materials.
