Black Limba Thin

Not just for guitars and tonewood - but furniture too!

There is a large range of colour to Limba from light yellow to golden brown. In some cases there are grey to black streaks that is referred to as black limba. The lighter colours are sometimes referred to as white limba. As the wood ages, it tends to get darker. 

Black Limba is also very popular for our luthier customers who use it to make solid-body electric guitars due to it's very light weight and density. 

The pieces we select for you will always have some black streaking in a percentage of the board - sometimes even the odd flair of orangy-brown can be found.

Great for crafts, scroll saw work, intarsia, chip carving, laser engraving, and much more!

In order to offer more protective packing for shipping - our lengths are often 1/4" less than sizes listed. Need a wider width or longer length? Please email us for a quote. Custom millwork charges will apply.

We will provide you with a 1/4" thick x 3" wide or 4-3/4" wide x 24" long, high quality thin board! These boards are flat, straight, and ready for sanding.

Working with Thin Lumber

4" and wider thins are resawn from a board thick enough to produce 2 pieces and then planed down to a finished thickness of 1/4". This milling process releases tensions in the board and may well induce slight cupping and/or bowing in the finished piece. These movements are normal and not considered "defects". They will not be grounds for a return or refund.

Black Limba

The 4/4 black limba piece is too warped to use, it’s nearly quarter sawn, would’ve been a good board for my application if not warped.

Box

Box wood materials were just as ordered. The guy that milled the wood even called and asked about the projects I was using the wood for and made sure quality was given high priority. Thanks
