Veneer species

Bubinga

Bubinga

Additional name:

Kevazingo

Origin:

Equatorial zone of West Africa (from Cameroon to Gabon to the Congo)

Color:

The color scale ranges from pink to brown-red to violet veined.

Charakter der Maserung:

A distinction is made between the plain, striped and "figured" patterns up to the particularly sought-after, dynamic pommelé.

Application:

With its decorative pattern and good technical properties, Bubinga can be used for automotive interiors, in furniture making and in store building and interior finishing. Also used for inlay and for making design furniture and musical instruments.

Flowery and alive, tropical and loud – thanks to its peculiar pattern, Bubinga has an effect as powerful and primal as the African continent itself.
