Bubinga Pommelé
Continent
Afrika
Origin
“Guibourtia Demeusei”
Range
Africa.
Properties
High quality architectural woodwork. Popular wood for this purpose in the USA, Australia and Japan.
Machining
Due to the unique growing pattern of this tree its wood provides a veneer pattern which is almost figured and, as a result, particularly attractive.
Seasoning
The growth form of the Sapele has no significant negative effect on machining. Care must be taken that the fibres in the interlocking grain zones do not pick up when machining is done.
Finishing
The wood should be carefully and slowly dried to avoid splitting. When moist, the wood gets a blue stain when coming into contact with metal.
Jointing
