Description of chestnut wood characteristics:
Durabilite vrillette / lictus
I have found "vrillette" to be furniture beetle and some French language sites indicate that "lictus" is a type of pest attacking wood - but what is the translation?
I am not 100% as to the "c" in this word, as my copy is not too clear - it could be "lietus" "liotus" "liatus", but I think "lictus" is the most likely
