We are excited to be stocking this exotic favorite again! Bubinga ranges in colour fom a deeper red/brown colour to a reddish pink. You can sometimes also find some streaking of black - or almost purple. It is even often used in place of a rosewood as it can share a close resemblance.
Except for the figured or interlocking grain boards - it is very early to work. It is also very dense and heavy - but that means it finishes well and can be nicely polished! Most often used in furniture, guitars and other instruments, inlays, handles, and turnings.
If you would like to do the milling yourself - try our 4/4 Rough Cut Bubinga Lumber for a more budget friendly version.
What can you expect?
We will carefully handpick a high quality board for you. We pay close attention to the wood species characteristics so we can send you a board that well represents each wood type.
In order to offer more protective packing for shipping - our lengths are often 1/4" less than sizes listed. Need a longer length? Please email us for a quote.
S4S Lumber
Who are they for? These are ideal for those who aren’t equipped with the necessary tools to flatten and straighten boards.
The term "surfaced" or "dressed" refers to a piece of wood that has been milled. To achieve the necessary dimensions, we select a larger board to work from. Both faces and edges are then surfaced so you can be assured that the board is flat and straight. These boards are available in specific sizes.
For example: 3/4” x 5-1/4” x 24”
Rough Cut Lumber
Who are they for? These are ideal for those who enjoy working with machinery or hand tools to mill their own boards.
We use this term to describe boards that require additional milling. Rough cut lumber have been run through the planer to show the grain however they have not been dressed. You will need to mill both faces and edges. Rough cut lumber are available in specific lengths with varying widths.
For example: 4/4 x (5-6”) x 24”
You will receive a board that is just shy of an inch thick, with a width in the range of 5-6”, and is 24” long.
