Bubinga (Figured)

Bubinga is an attractive wood from Africa, and much comes from the country of Cameroon. It can be a very large tree. Bubinga can have various kinds of figure (or none). The pieces below have pictures to help explain the types of figure being offered. (Those not marked as figured are not considered figured). The specific gravity is about .88 and the wood works nicely. Colors shown are as accurate as possible, and are a good idea of what these pieces look like in natural light. Sapwood can be an exciting accent, and the sapwood usually has the same figure as the rest of the piece and holds together well.

Figured Bubinga 22to26

Dried pieces in this redder type of Bubinga.  Bubinga is sometimes called African Rosewood but it isn't actually a rosewood.   But the coppery red color gives some people the idea of a rosewood.  A glass like finish can be obtained, use very aggressive (lower grits) to sand it and for very short periods of time to prevent it from burning.  Once you have the surface totally uniform move to higher grit sandpaper and avoid burning by sanding just for brief periods. Pieces are shown at various angles to display the light reflected from the figured areas.  The reflections move as you rotate the piece.

Figured Bubinga 5to14

Dried pieces in figured bubinga.   Even though they are figured sometimes it is the side with the most lines that is more interesting than the figure.   This is one of the redder varieties, and often looks sort of coppery red when finished.   To get the best look sand it very finely.
