Description

Shedua (Ovangkol) – Rough Cut Lumber

Scientific name : Guibourtia ehie

Distribution : Tropical West Africa

Average Weight: 51 lbs/ft3 (825 kg/m3)

Common Uses: Veneer, furniture, cabinetry, turned objects, musical instruments, and flooring.

Color/Appearance: Varying shades of yellowish to reddish brown with darker brown, gray, or black stripes. Moderately wide sapwood is a pale yellow, clearly demarcated from heartwood. Sometimes seen with a curly or mottled grain pattern.

Shrinkage:
Radial: 4.3%
Tangential: 8.3%
Volumetric: 12.1%
T/R Ratio: 1.9

Workability: Overall a fairly easy wood to work, though Ovangkol contains silica and can therefore dull cutters prematurely. Also, if the grain is interlocked, or if there is other figure present in the wood, planing and other machining operations may be troublesome and cause tearout. Turns, glues and finishes well.

Density: Janka Hardness: 1,330 lbf - For comparison: White Pine 420 lbf – Yellow Birch 1,260 lbf
