Bubinga
Product Description
Bubinga works well with both hand and machine tools, though irregular grain may pick up during planing or moulding, so a low cutting angle should be used. It has a moderate to severe blunting effect because it contains silica. There can be problems with gum exudation, and steam-bending qualities are poor. Gum pockets may make gluing difficult. It takes stain easily, an can be sanded and polished to an excellent finish.
Please note, the image is an example of what you could create with Bubinga wood.
Bubinga blanks are available in squares and rounds. All sizes are listed in inches unless stated otherwise.
Sample turned by Anthony Chambers.
