Description

Bubinga Planks - 23 3/4" long

Scientific NameGuibourtia spp., the three principal species are G. demeusei, G. pellegriniana, and G. tessmannii

Origin: Equatorial Africa

Average Weight: 56 lbs/ft3 (890 kg/m3)

Common Uses: Veneer, inlays, fine furniture, cabinetry, turnings, and other specialty items. Since bubinga trees can grow so large, natural-edge slabs of the wood have also been used in tabletops and other specialized projects.

Color/Appearance: Heartwood ranges from a pinkish red to a darker reddish brown with darker purple or black streaks. Sapwood is a pale straw color and is clearly demarcated from the heartwood. Bubinga is very frequently seen with a variety of figure, including pommele, flamed, waterfall, quilted, mottled, etc.

Shrinkage:
Radial: 6.0%
Tangential: 8.2%
Volumetric: 13.9%
T/R Ratio: 1.4

Workability: Easy to work overall, though depending upon the species bubinga can have silica present, which can prematurely dull cutting edges. Also, on pieces with figured or interlocking grain, tearout can occur during planing or other machining operations. Gluing can occasionally be problematic due to bubinga’s high density and natural oils. Turns and finishes well.

Density: Janka Hardness: 2,410 lb- For comparison: White Pine 420 lbf - Black Cherry 1,260 lbf

The 10% discount is applicable on 10 pieces or more of the same species and the same format.
