The sapwood is narrow, and distinct from the heartwood, which is yellowish-brown in colour, closely resembling Oak in appearance resulting from the finer rays. The grain may be straight, but is more commonly spiral, particularly in wood from old trees. It weighs about 560 kg/m³ when dried. On account of its somewhat acidic character Chestnut tends to accelerate the corrosion of metals, particularly when moist. It also contains tannin, as a result of which blue-black discolouration’s are prone to appear on the wood when it comes into contact with iron or iron compounds.
The heartwood is pale reddish-brown to brick-red in colour, sharply defined from the narrow, lighter-coloured sapwood. It is a very resinous wood, clearly marked annual rings, a straight grain, and a fine, uniform texture. It is rather heavy, weighing 590 kg/m³ when dried. Knots are plentiful and add to the overall character of the wood.
The sapwood is narrow and white in colour, and the heartwood is reddish-brown. When freshly felled, the heartwood often displays a marked variation in colour. After drying, the wood assumes a uniform reddish-brown tone, but after long exposure to weather the colour is lost, and the wood becomes silver-grey. This weathered appearance is sometimes purposely sought by architects, but a further peculiarity of the wood is its ability to take and hold stain of the finest tint without discolouration. The wood is non-resinous, light in weight, about 390 kg/m³ when dried.
This is a durable hardwood. 720kg per cubic meter, density can vary by 20% or more. Iron staining may occur in damp conditions, similarly corrosion of metals use stainless fixings to present this occurrence.
