Bubinga

Bubinga is one of Africa's most prized cabinet woods — a rich reddish-brown to purple-brown with dark veining that creates a stunning natural figure. Quartersawn or rotary-cut pieces often show spectacular waterfall or pommele figure that commands premium prices on the veneer market. Despite its hardness, it machines surprisingly well and takes an exceptional finish. A majestic wood for statement furniture, conference tables, and high-end cabinetry where presence matters.
