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.
White 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.
If you would like to do the milling yourself - try our 4/4 Rough Cut White Limba Lumber for a more budget friendly version.

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.
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 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
My order arrived and it only took me a few minutes to start putting it into some cutting boards! I love the look of it! Quality every time I receive my orders .
I love the materials I received, it is even better than I was expecting, I only with there was more information on how the material is made, and maybe some laser settings for starting out.
I have already placed two more orders in the past week.
Nice piece of wood, made nice Christmas trees.
KJP shipped them to me, got them 2 days after I ordered them.
Thanks guys!!
Purchased these for turning high end stool legs. Really nice uniform grain for legs.
