Yes its very strong wood, cheap and easy to work (less tool wear). Open grain gives better grip for adhesives and it will readily absorb preservatives, stains and paints. A favourite material for pit-props (mine working roof supports). It creaks loudly a good time before failure; an early warning of impending collapse for the miners.
