At right is a sample of this wood finished. Figured African Bubinga (Guibourtia tessmannii) To open up a saw log we take a 4/4 or sometimes 8/4 cut or two before we start getting into the “meat” of the log. We call these boards scab or blanket boards and they always have a fair amount of sapwood. On the plus side, whenever the log is quilt or scallop figured these flat-sawn boards always exhibit some of the strongest figure, and oftentimes the sapwood is nicely spalted. We tally these boards quite leniently but still expect some waste. #SP914 -all sold various dimensions $10.00/bf.

This comes from the Atlas mountains in Morocco and has a beautiful golden chatoyance. Its color varies from a rich, lustrous golden brown to nearly black. Thuya burl is hard and dense with a high oil content, but tends to be brittle. The eyes, perfectly round, are scattered about in some burls like the figure in bird’s-eye maple; in others they are grouped as islands. A rare species, this exquisite wood is used for inlays, small boxes, turnery, and precious objects.
