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.
