Figured Bubinga
(Guibourtia tessmannii)

Called by some woodworkers African Rosewood, Bubinga is a deep, lustrous, brownish-red color with a fine, darker striping. The figure makes the wood doubly beautiful. It is very hard and heavy and takes a glassy, smooth finish. This board would make an absolutely stunning table top. The outside of the log this was sawn from was covered in bumps and burls which produced an intricate pattern of swirls and bird’s-eyes on the face of the board.
If you want a huge table this board is a book-match to #W11782.

Buy the pair for $4800.00. Kiln-dried.
