Evaluate Kebony Performance and Aesthetics

leaves the wood in a permanently expanded State at the cellular level and we thicken the wood cell fiber Walls by more than 50% from the parent wood species so we take a wood that the parent wood species radiat of pine has a Janka hardness of 720 when we're done with it we actually more than double that initial native wood species hardness we go to 1620 right okay it's the only modification process that can claim we we go over 100% more than the parent wood species so if you look at like a thermally modified they start with a hardwood they actually reduce the parent wood hardness by maybe 15% 20% depending on where they started with whether it's Oak Ash popper you know that sort of thing and they increase the brittleness by about 50% we do increase the brittleness a little bit but like this right here this is a system we had 50% more density and weight to the wood if that was Pine it' be a feather yeah it definitely feels a lot heavier yeah so it it looks like an exotic cardwood now so that's the goal our goal is to take the lowest species of wood fiber and make it perform similar to if not equal to a tropical hardwood species it kind of looks like epe or correct so we actually in in all the modified woods whether it's thermally or chemically modified we most closely resemble the initial look of and the aging process of an epe right now our wood because of the fural alcohol and that we actually will patina and age much quicker than an EP probably within the first year and direct sunlight and a decent amount of rain and moisture it'll turn within the first year so so from a painter standpoint once this stuff is treated once it's installed you don't ever have to do anything to it ever again correct yeah once it's installed
