Bubinga Hardwood Lumber

All lumber prices shown are per board foot, unless otherwise noted.

Color:

Heartwood ranges from a pinkish red to a darker reddish brown with darker purple or black streaks. Sapwood is a pale straw color and is clearly demarcated from the heartwood. Bubinga is very frequently seen with a variety of figure, including pommele, flamed, waterfall, quilted, mottled, etc.

Grain:

Grain is straight to interlocked. Has a uniform fine to medium texture and moderate natural luster.

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.

Physical properties:

It is a heavy to very heavy, hard to very hard wood and a durable species as it resists well to fungi, dry wood borers and termites, as well as moisture.
