This is a characteristic about the tree: London Plane.
It's a work I have to do for my translation class. It's about all the types of wood. The document describes the characteristics, the working qualities, the wood and the uses of each type.
Thank you.

English term (edited):
to bind
se gripper
It's the right sens of 'to bind' = 'to stick, jam' — but I'm not at all sure if this would be the correct term to use about timber; in fact, one might argue that it is in fact the nature of the wood that is going to cause the saw to bind.

peut devenir collant pendant le sciage
I thought it referred to the wood excreting more residual sap when you sawed it.

: I don't think so, really; I think it is more about the fibrous structure, and how that behaves under shear strain.
