The wood texture exhibits a striking macro feature characterized by loose to semi-annular holes, giving it a natural and organic appearance. The heartwood ranges from light brown to a rich chestnut hue, while the sapwood tends to have a slightly lighter tone. When wet, the wood emits a mild, tangy scent. Growth rings are clearly visible, and the tube holes are noticeable both to the naked eye and under magnification. These tube holes appear singly or in small groups, sometimes accompanied by gum deposits. The axial thin-walled tissue is prominent under magnification, forming patterns that include ring-like, wing-like, and wheel-bound structures, though these are not always immediately apparent. The wood rays are also distinct when viewed under magnification, displaying their characteristic patterns.
On a microscopic level, the cross-section of the vessels shows an oval shape with some exhibiting slightly polygonal contours. The majority of the tube holes are singular, but there are occasional occurrences of simple to slightly complex tube holes (usually 2-6, predominantly 2-3), with rare clusters. The largest documented diameter reaches 292µm, though most fall between 150-200µm, with an average of around 170µm. Intervessel pits are typically intercolumnar and polygonal, often adhered to each other. Perforations are solitary, and the vessel-ray pitting resembles the vessel-to-vessel arrangement. Axial parenchyma tissues are primarily found in diffuse, aggregated, and sometimes wing-like formations, often spanning widths of 1-2 cells. Spindle parenchyma cells are occasionally visible, and crystal cells are common, with some containing up to 8 or more rhomboid crystals. The wood fibers possess extremely thick walls, and many contain gum deposits. The wood rays number between 9-14 per mm, with multi-stacked configurations (rarely single rows) measuring 2-3 cells wide and 5-9 cells tall. The ray tissue is homogenous and multi-stacked. Some ray cells contain gum deposits, but crystals are not typically observed, and there are no intercellular canals present.
This wood originates from South America and is known for its high density and impressive weight, with an air-dry density ranging from 0.9 to 1.19 g/cm³. Despite its heaviness, the wood is highly durable and strong. It is relatively easy to work with, allowing for smooth cutting and machining processes. However, due to its high density and natural oil content, it poses challenges during gluing. Its excellent turning properties make it ideal for creating intricate carvings and achieving a high polish finish.
The wood finds applications in various fields such as veneering, fine inlays, artistic creations, percussion instruments, and small-scale turning projects. Its aesthetic appeal, coupled with its structural integrity, makes it a valuable resource in both traditional and modern woodworking industries.

In the Finnish language Kone means "machine" or "device".
KONE UltraRope
In June 2013 the company launched a new high-rise elevator technology, called 'KONE UltraRope', which enables future elevator travel heights of 1 kilometre. The product is light due to its carbon fibre core and a high-friction coating. Because of these qualities, elevator energy consumption in high-rise buildings can be cut significantly.
KONE EcoDisc motor
The 'KONE EcoDisc motor', used for hoisting, reduces the amount of energy lost as heat. The motor control system and brakes make the elevator ride quiet and the design frees up space.
Elevators
The 'KONE MonoSpace' for low- to mid-rise buildings is the world`s first machine-room-less elevator.The 'KONE EcoSpace' elevator is a machine-room-less traction elevator designed for low-rise buildings from 2 to 15 stories as an energy-efficient alternative to hydraulic elevators, and can fit in an existing hydraulic elevator hoistway. It is produced in a 150 feet per minute (0.76 m/s) speed, 200 feet per minute (1.0 m/s) and 350 feet per minute (1.8 m/s) variants.The 'KONE MiniSpace' elevator with a small machine room is often used in high-rise buildings.
