Afrormosia AFRO03 — 1015x180x22mm

Afrormosia (Pericopsis elata)

Afrormosia is a fine African hardwood often compared to Teak for its exceptional durability, stability, and warm, golden-brown appearance — but with a finer, more even grain and a cleaner, more refined look. It is highly resistant to decay and movement, making it an outstanding choice for furniture, joinery, and any application where a premium, long-lasting hardwood is required. It works and finishes beautifully, taking oils and lacquers to a smooth, lustrous surface.
