Bubinga with quilt or curl figure from Griffin Exotic Wood

Griffin Exotic Wood

Bubinga (figured)

Bubinga is an attractive wood from Africa, and much comes from the country of Cameroon. It can be a very large tree. Bubinga can have various kinds of figure (or none). The pieces below have pictures to help explain the types of figure being offered. The specific gravity is about .88 and the wood works nicely. Colors shown are as accurate as possible, and are a good idea of what these pieces look like in natural light. Sapwood can be an exciting accent, and the sapwood usually has the same figure as the rest of the piece and holds together well.

This is a sample of the appearance and color of pomele figure with water on it.
When finely sanded and finished the pomele figure is even more pronounced.
The pomele pieces below all have the same figure as seen here and they
all are from the same board. Color differences seen below have more to do with the
angle and lighting conditions. Being a chatoyant wood, it looks 3D when polished.
