BUBINGA EXOTIC WOOD

Bubinga is a gorgeous African hardwood.  Due to its fine, tight grain and its reddish brown color, Bubinga is often referred to as “African Rosewood”.  The trees can grow quite large and five foot diameter logs are not uncommon (making one piece table top slabs possible).

  • Used for fine furniture and musical instruments
  • Orange brown at first, oxidizing to a beautiful reddish brown
  • Hard durable wood
