Chestnut is a noble wood in the same way as oak and walnut, its qualities are numerous :

It is a species which has very little sapwood, and whose fairly homogeneous coloring allows the finger jointing technique to obtain large lengths purged of singularities. Chestnut has a beautiful light and warm color, and it is a wood which accepts a saturator finish well. Chestnut is a dense wood, whose 600 kg/m3 make it a durable and impact-resistant material. Chestnut contains tannin which acts as a repellent, particularly for spiders which never weave their webs there. Resistant to insects, bad weather, and sea air, Chestnut is one of the species that ages best outdoors, without any preservative treatment. Its richness in tannin makes it a particularly resistant wood. Used in carpentry and framework, it is a hard and very dense wood while being flexible. Chestnut was once the species of Kings (the frames of castles and noble buildings are made of it) and is still very widely used in historical monuments where this fairly light species has demonstrated its resistance and great longevity. It is a species that has great potential in construction where its uses can be multiple (framework, cladding, joinery, parquet floors, terrace decking, trellises, fences, wattle fences, and stakes), it is above all a material of first choice because of its very decorative aspect.
