About this product

The heartwood is lemon to greenish-yellow, yellow-brown, darkening in time. The wood has an intensive lustrous surface which is why it is misleadingly called _African Satinwood_. The logs with pronounced figuring are particularly decorative. This figuring can occur in different forms.

The light colored logs can be machined as a general rule without any great difficulty. The dark logs have a higher silicate content and as a result dulls tools quickly. The twisting fibre growth becomes a problem when planing at high feed speeds.

Care must be taken in drying in order to avoid checking and warping.
