Imported from Central Africa (Gabon, Cameroon and Congo). The heartwood is golden yellow, distinct from the very pale color of the sapwood and narrow-stripes that fade from dark brown to black. It is a hard and heavy wood with a plot a bit ‘big. The woven fiber – like the one of many tropical timber – can make it difficult to processing. It is an exotic wood that was also used in the past to decorate the interior of Cadillac and Mercedes-Benz.
