African Walnut AFW02 — 1055x215x24mm

African Walnut (Lovoa trichilioides)

African Walnut is a beautifully figured exotic hardwood from the tropical forests of West and Central Africa. Its warm golden-brown heartwood, often with an interlocked grain producing a subtle ribbon figure, makes it a highly sought-after timber for decorative and craft work. A pleasure to work with and stunning when finished, it offers a taste of the exotic at an accessible price point.
