Lumber Characteristics

Availability:

Our current stock contains boards up to 12 feet in length in widths 6 iunches to 12 inches wide.

Workability:

Easy to work overall, though depending upon the species Bubinga can have silica present, which can prematurely dull cutting edges. Also, on pieces with figured or interlocking grain, tearout can occur during planing or other machining operations. Gluing can occasionally be problematic due to Bubinga’s high density and natural oils. Turns and finishes well.
