What a beautiful wood! The attractive ribbon grain with a teak-brown color gives a luxurious look to your projects. Great for outdoor furniture, Afrormosia makes a nice substitute for teak where that stability and water resistance is necessary. But it's also so gorgeous that you can use Afrormosia in any indoor project where you want a unique or elegant look. Expect a heavy and dense wood that cuts cleanly, and polishes up like nothing else!
Get your hands on a wood you've never tried before! It's simple. Samples are milled on all sides to the standard size of 1/2'' X 3'' X 6'', as determined by The International Wood Collectors Society, and include the shipping cost within the 48 U.S. Each one is labeled with the botanical and common names. Use these to test finishes and stains, to compare color and grain characteristics, etc.
