Arbutus unedo, you will not immediately find large carriages, and you will find more easily someone who knows when the south wind was formed. Firewood, wood for bulls, tin for fodder, fruit for spirits... We've given him a push almost until he's gone.

Our culture has many examples like Gurbitza. We start the exploitation of the forest from the basic needs. And to think of destroying horribly, to satisfy the unrivaled cravings of the world! We have brought many plants to the edge of the abyss of disappearance. In our house, like what dictionaries call basagurbea, Sorbus torminalis. Few of you know it, no wonder. In the Gurbitza area it is scarce. How many utensils have been made with your wood?

Formerly the mahogany (Khaya sp. and Swietenia sp.) It was considered to be one of the woods in front of it, the best. Also today, there is work to be found and expensive! It is a solid wood, of 660-990 kilos per cubic meter, very worked, hard, without cracks or onions, hard to imagine, with little loss, with a good reddish. Many things have been done: sculptures and nice boxes of shotguns, durable measuring instruments... It will also add something special to music, as some parts of many instruments needed that wood, such as keys or piano keys and the like. The instruments of wind are known, the most famous are the tubes and other parts of the organs of the churches. Also optional for friction parts: machine parts, gear knives... Similarly, a table instrument, similar to the boj (Buxus sempervirens) for the elaboration of brooches and the like. Ideal for making utensils handles of all kinds. The barrel of maspil wood boards was highly appreciated for both milks and wines. The grains of the maspila, which are well corrupted in the shape of the mistress (Mespilus germanica), are enjoyed and, like the left sardine (Humulus lupulus), was used to tie the beer, as well as to form whispers of herbs and breasts. It has also been used to improve cider. It is said that the Maspilardo has been done. We have thrown a tangle for you and pulled it, but at least for wine we would have to hold it.
