Limba


Continent

Afrika
Origin
Africa
Range
Limba is found in the West African rain forests on the Guinea coast. The tree is distributed most frequently in the Congo.

Properties

The color varies greatly by region. Limba from the Congo has the desired light yellow color, where as the wood from the Ivory Coast can be brown to black in color. Limba is the dominating species of wood in the Belgian Congo and is exported from there in significant quantities.

Machining

Limba can be easily and cleanly machined by all usual wood working methods. Alternating spiral grain presents no problem with normal feed.

Seasoning
To guard against attack by insects the wood should be kiln-dried soon after cutting and with greatest care due to its inner tension. It must be noted that the dark heartwood takes longer to dry.

Finishing

All types of surface treatment can be applied for interior use. Limba also stains very well.

Jointing

The light Limba wood presents no problem when gluing. Screw joints should be pre-drilled.
